On Wednesday we returned to downtown Sydney. We parked at the Opera House, but this time we made sure we got there early enough to get the early bird rate.
We tried to tour the government house, which is located in the botanical gardens just south of the Opera House, but the governor was having an event, so it wasn't open for tours.
We headed down toward Hyde Park, and went through the museum in the old barracks that held convicts back when Sydney was first founded. It was really interesting how they covered the various aspects of the buildings history.
Then we walked through the Anzac memorial and the rest of Hyde Park, then through the Strand and the Queen Victoria Building.
Finally we went to the Sky Tower, where we met some classmates of my son's who were also touring Sydney prior to starting classes in Perth.
They did the Skywalk while I took pictures from the observation lounge.
