I will be in New Zealand skiing for a couple of days, staying in Queensland (where I plan to go bungee jumping), followed by five days in Sydney, Australia, followed by two days in Fiji, August 4 - 19, 2000. I want to meet and greet chileheads, too, but for now, I need to know about the Sydney Opera House. I can buy tickets through their official website right now for August 2000 events. A number of events are listed for all their venues. The biggest venues are the Concert Hall followed by the Opera Theater. Unfortunately, it appears the Olympic Arts festival starts just after I leave. Which venues do you recommend would be best? Any kind of event is OK. I don't mind spending the $165 a ticket at the Opera Theater for what will be a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm also very interested in any chile related stuff in those areas. I'm meeting with an email friend who I've asked to show me a real, live platypus. I am going with a local ski club here in New Jersey. Nothing is set in stone yet and the trip could be canceled if not enough people sign up. Thanks in advance. Karen E. Stober kstober@att.com karen1@mail.idt.net
