Sydney 12/11 - 19/11

Took the river cat into Sydney which was a very scenic way of travelling. Cost us about £2.50 for an hours cruise which concluded with us sailing under the harbour bridge and past the Opera House into Circular Quay. We have been to Sydney several times before so we only intended to see certain things this time rather than do everything again.






We had visited Bondi Beach in 2000 but it had been cloudy. This time we deliberately went on a sunny day. It was quite a trek to get there via boat, train and bus but we had a good time there and it is a great place to people watch.



There is a scenic walk along the coast to Bronte Beach. The whole route was the setting for a sculpture exhibition.

Next day we took a car drive to Sydney’s northern beaches. This is Palm Beach also known as Summer Bay on TV’s Home and Away. We wondered how they managed to film with so many flies bothering you all the time.



Next day was the coldest November morning in Sydney for 110 years. It rained heavily so we caught the train into the city to visit some museums and shops. Here we are at Darling Harbour where we experienced heavy rain and then bright sunshine. Jayne was glad she brought her Ski jacket with her, she needed it, it was freezing.
