Day 5: A Harbour Cruise and a City Bus Tour.

For me, being in any city where there is the possibility of being on or near water is always a delight and Sydney is no exception. The two hours spent cruising in the harbour under a bright sky and in warm sunshine were just wonderful. Adding to the pleasure was our friendly and knowledgeable guide Cherie, who, with her husband and children, had emigrated on the very last ship which brought the £10 Poms to Australia in the 1970s.

Here are just a few harbour views.















Following the cruise we took the land route, seeing the city sights from a different perspective.



The Harbour Bridge and the Opera House looking back from Mrs Macquarie's Point.







The Bridge and the city skyline from the North Shore at Kirribilli: a different perspective.




The view from South Head as we took the coastal route to Bondi Beach.







Even on a Monday, the beach was busy, with plenty of sunbathers and surfers, enjoying the beautiful day!
