Last day in Sydney


We are moving on tomorrrow to Alice Springs so trying to pack in as much as poss today. So bus round to Bondi - beautiful blue skies but absolutely freezing! Hence no one on the beach.
We took in the convict museum as well - fascinating - found a Matthew Sweet that was there in 1826 - stole some lead apparently and got 7 years for his trouble - hailed from Bristol so there is that West Country connection again. He was 19 years old - a bit harsh. I tried out his sleeping arrangements.
Quick ferry over to Watsons Bay for fish and chips and to get some views of the bridge

Went to ShangriLa for a cocktail this evening and watched the sunset over the harbour - magical!
QI - met the ex-musical director of Brotherhood of Man - he was playing piano in the 4 Seasons lobby - oh how the mighty have fallen....

  1. What did you think of Bondi Beach? We were a bit disappointed. Alice Springs should be good
