Hello all, So, being that I have decided to leave Sydney next tuesday, I thought I'd better get on the case of doing the "tourist" stuff today, and well, I did. I had my camera fully charged and ready to go. First I went to the Harbour Bridge, got to admit, its quite impressive, for the engineers that are reading this, you'd love it, how they put a thing like that together, in those days is just amazing.
