They also explain the symbols depicted in their characteristic dotbased art as you try your hand at making your own. My takeaways
after a morning at Maruku: Not all boomerangs are designed to return
to the thrower. And my dot painting skills need work.
CITY SCENES
Sydney's five million citizens reflect the diversity of the entire
country, with its heavy British, European and Asian influences. And
what better way to start our city adventure than with a greeting at
the front door of our host hotel, Four Seasons Hotel Sydney,
by a pair of giant bouncing kangaroos (two actors on springloaded stilts dressed in kangaroo costumes), who escorted us to
the harbor to begin our exploration. It's hard to imagine a more
unconventional set of guides, but completely fitting in a country
where the marsupial is the unofficial mascot.
It's easy to explore Sydney-and not just from the plush
confines of a Mercedes Sprinter bus. Our group toured the city's
eastern suburbs as passengers in a motorcade of growling Harley
motorbikes. Clinging to the waists of our drivers, we whizzed along
winding hilly streets, through posh neighborhoods and coastal
villages, stopping to appreciate the view at famous Bondi Beach.

Taking to the streets, we enjoyed a walking tour of The Rocks,
site of Sydney's first settlement, where we saw the well-preserved
remains of centuries-old tenements. From the teak deck of a yacht
we boarded at Watson's Bay, Sydney's harbor, beaches and coastal
villages dazzled, as did its famous waterfront Opera House. A
marvel of engineering that took 14 years to build and features
more than a million ceramic roof tiles, the World Heritage Site is an
impressive venue for meetings, with indoor and outdoor spaces
that can accommodate groups as large as 2,700 people.
From the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Australia's most
popular tourist attraction serves merely as a backdrop for the trip's
biggest surprise yet: a private cocktail party at the summit, complete
with canapés and champagne (which can be booked for groups of at
least 20). And sure as the Aussie flag flies, and the strains of ABBA's
"Dancing Queen," echo into the air, we're beckoned to a tiny dance
floor and the time taken to arrive to this fascinating country, like our
hour-long ascent, has been absolutely worth it.
