Sydney - 1 week in...

and we’ve covered a fair bit of ground this week. On the first day we had a short 4 hour walk to North Head in the blazing sun, but that’s what we do. The views were fantastic, both across to the city and Manly beach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We bought a weekly travel card so have been on the ferries and into town most days. Below is the view from the ferry

 

 

 

The first day we walked all around Circular Quay, Farm Cove through the Royal Botanic Gardens to Woollomoolloo Wharf (didn’t find the university or anyone called ‘Bruce’)

Then we had a day visiting Bondi and the famous beach (below)

 

Later in the week we walked across the Harbour Bridge and visited Luna Park.

The park opened in 1935 and closed in 1979, following a fire. The park was demolished and redeveloped a number of times finally reopening in 2004. It really does feel like you’ve stepped back in time, apart from the prices of course!

We walked around Darling Harbour then down into Chinatown, where we had a nice lunch :-)

Tomorrow we're off to The Rocks (Australia's first European settlement) to visit the local markets.
