Leaving beautiful New Zealand was hard. But seeing Sydney Harbour with the iconic Opera House seemingly floating on the water, got us primed for our Australian Adventure!
Australia is really big and we only had two weeks to see as much as we could. So, we decided to hit the east coast and use Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane as stopping off points.
This may seem as a real touristy thing to do, but like I said, Australia is a big country and we wanted make sure to hit all the biggies.
Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour with the Harbour Bridge were right on top of our list.
I went for a room with a view of the Opera house and had a good view. Unfourtunately, there was a tv antenna on top of a building and a cruise ship that was right in the way some of the time.
Oh well, the cruise ship left each 
afternoon, having happy hour on the balcony was a lot of fun…At least we got some good pics at night.
We spent several days in Sydney and we 
got to see a lot of the city which is full of beautiful parks and churches. Also, we went to the top of The Sydney Tower, which has a really nice restaurant and a viewing area where you could see the entire city and
Harbour.
The Harbour area is a really fun place. It is full of street performers, tourists and some interesting birds. Not far from our 
hotel was a area full of restaurants and cool shops. We hung out there a lot.
We took a cruise around Sydney Harbour and checked out the 
different areas like Manly beach and Watson Bay. There are a lot of cool spots around the harbour that I would like to revisit.
The last night we were in Sydney we were able to go to the Opera House and see Evita. Even though we thought the place was spectacular, Evita was underwhelming.
One of the things we wanted to do was to climb over the Harbour Bridge. This is where you walk over the top of the bridge for some amazing views, however, they wanted $300.00 per person. So much for climbing the bridge.
However, We were able to walk over it and scale Pylon Lookout for free. Also, we got some excellent pics.
One night, while we were there, a company projected images on the Opera House and a group of protesters gathered outside and shined 
flashlights and lasers to try to disrupt the presentation. They objected to using a World Heritage site for advertising.
Despite the controversy, we were able to get some unique pictures of the Opera House with it’s sails lit in different colors. Brilliant !!!
We really enjoyed our time in Sydney. The Opera house and the Harbour were spectacular.
We will be spending our last night in Sydney before returning home.
We made reservations for dinner on top of the Sydney Tower. The perfect way to end our WalkAbout.
On to Melbourne !!!
Later… RoadGliding…
