This post will basically be just pictures of the city.

The first group are of our entry into the harbour. It meant if we wanted to see the grand entrance and welcome by a water-spraying fireboat, we had to be up at 5 am.

Fort Denison
Ft Denison & Opera house hi
The secondary official residence of the PM
Sydney Bridge
At top that bridge

Next, a walk later on the 10th, around the neighbourhood called The Rocks…. Predominately George Street. It was first inhabited by sailors and convicts in the early 1800’s.

Very cool sculptures with running water fountains
And of course the ever present ibis…..in the same category here as are seagulls at home
Oceania Riviera’s first visit to Sydney or so I was told
Weird looking building
Sydney Opera house
Old police station and former hospital
On the front of the building to the left
Stonework on the above building
Ibis’ everywhere
Oldest bar from 1828 at the Fortune of War
Men’s wear
Some very wild men’s jackets
Gorgeous suede shawls at just over $1000 AUD

Next day we walked and walked…. Along the waterfront by the Opera House, Botanical Gardens, Mrs Macquarie’s Chair& Road.

People pay about $400 just to climb the bridge
Next a Royal Caribbean
Bottle Tree
Can you see the parrot
Have you ever seen a trunk like this???
Mrs. Macquaries Chair
Mrs. Macquaries Road
Farm Cove….lots of marinas
Sydney Botanical Gardens entrance
A “flock” of ibis’
Another type of Clivia
