We arrived in Sydney to very un-Australian weather: dark clouds, cold winds and heavy rain! However, it did make for an atmospheric first view of the famous Sydney harbour!
To escape the rain we headed for the wildlife centre where they keep hundreds of native Aussie creatures... We saw the world's most venomous snakes and spiders as well as some of the more loveable animals...
Dave caught the eye of an Aussie bird...
The saltwater Croc 'Rex' was among the most impressive!
The following day as the weather cleared up, we headed up... Australia's highest building the Sydney Tower Eye. Looking out from 250m above the CBD and the harbour, the views were magnificent!
You can see the harbour bridge in the far right of the photo!
Heading back down to street level we walked and walked, taking in all of Sydney's architecture both old and new.
Our accommodation is a good 50 min walk from town so although we are supposed to be resting up after our last few Great Walks, we are still racking up the KM's!
Such an iconic landmark, we have really enjoyed seeing the Sydney Opera House from all angles.
We even saw it from the Harbour as we caught a ferry to Manley Beach.
Some interesting cloud formations and the city skyline in the back-drop made this photo one of our favourites.
The thin tower on the left is the Sydney Tower Eye, this was where we viewed the city from previously.
As the evening light changed we once again made our way back into town for dinner.
With the setting of the sun the city still had plenty of staggering views as we walked the harbour shoreline.
Quite an incredible evening.
