On to Sydney

Monday, January 24, 2011

We left Fraser Island by the ferry and took a plane to Sydney. After checking in at the hotel, we walked around the harbor area called Central Quay. We took a boat tour of the Sydney Harbor including the opera house, the Sydney Harbor bridge, the million dollar houses on Wollaston Road, and Shark Beach. Yes, there are sharks in the harbor. We stopped at Watson Bay, which has a beach on the Sydney Harbor side and steep cliffs to the Pacific on the other side. Then, we walked around the Rocks area, which is the site of the original penal colony in Sydney. We walked to the tip land under the bridge. We had a nice dinner at Café Sydney, which overlooks the harbor, Luna amusement park, and the bridge.
