A lazy Sunday morning with a full English breakfast was a nice way to start our last day in Sydney. The sun was out again but the wind meant it did not feel as hot as the previous days. This did not deter us from heading to the surfing Mecca that is Bondi Beach. Chris with lots to sort out suggested that I drive the car so Alan & I headed off to the beach. With the GPS on the go we didn't get lost and parked right on the beach. We strolled to the headl...

Next we headed to Scenic World which is located further along the cliffs. At the park we travelled down into the valley on the worlds steepest railway. Alt...

We then walked around the Opera House & the wharf area, where despite being it being the middle of the morning, it was bustling diners...
