Sydney: Day Fifty-Five (13 December)


Another early start today. Our friends kindly took us to Coffs Harbour airport for our flight to Sydney, the capital of New South Wales. Sydney airport is built near Botany Bay where Captain Cook first landed in 1770.

We took the AirportLink to Town Hall station and joined a tourist train past the entrance to the Chinese Gardens and Paddy’s Markets before arriving at our hotel in Darling Harbour.

After lunch in one of Darling Harbour’s many sandwich places (and a chocolate milkshake :-)), we walked across Pyrmont Bridge and round to Circular Quay where the Opera House is. We returned to Darling Harbour via the Queen Victoria Building (QVB), which was looking very festive. This tree was decorated with diamonds!
