I, along with my aunt, uncle and cousins, spent twelve days in Australia. The first half we were in Sydney and the second part we traveled up to the Blue Mountains.
While in Sydney we used the ferry for transportation, visited the Taronga Zoo, walked around the Opera House, visited the Powerhouse Museum, shopped at Target (a definite highlight!), went to Featherdale (a wildlife park where we could pet koalas and feed kangaroos), and went to church at Hillsong.
Below are some sights around Sydney.
A look across the wharf into Sydney.
Much of Sydney is based around the water. The use of ferries is a popular choice of transportation. It is quick and easy; just hop on and hop off at your choice of location.
A ferry. Most are double-deckers while a choice of inside or outside seating.
We got a multi-ride pass; with this, we had unlimited bus and/or ferries rides.
One morning I took a walk around the wharf. I found beautiful boats on tranquil waters.
Along the water there are big, beautiful, old houses. Many have cascading gardens (like the one above) and stone staircases.
Circular Quay. The ferry station.
Along Circular Quay there were various street performers.
Aborigine men performing - they played this long instrument (man on ground on far right).
I saw this man almost every time I went downtown. He made a lot of progress in the time I was there.
