Tour of Sydney






We had a great tour of Sydney today. We spent the afternoon traveling around the city with a guide and saw harbors, beaches, parks, and landmarks. Our guide gave us a history lesson of Australia and we learned lots about the first settlers/convicts. I was surprised to learn that convicts were sent to Australia for over 80 years! The youngest convict sent was 9 years old. Imagine spending 253 days in the hull of a ship never seeing the light of day.

Enjoy the photos of the harbors, the city, the Opera House...again, and Bondi Beach. Tomorrow we're taking a water taxi to Manly Beach!
