Australia & New Zealand - Day 6 - 1st June

Day 6

Caught the train from Chatswood into the city today and they really are special.  Two deck carriages immaculately clean and seats that will face whichever way you want them to.

I then did a spot of window shopping in the city centre, including the magnificent QV building ......

The Queen Victoria Building




















...... Then I headed back to Circular Quay and bought a couple of 4 museum passes for me and Cerys.  She is off school for two weeks over half term shortly and wants to visit the Prisoner And Convict jail museums. How could I refuse.

The Museum of Sydney 

















There was another cruise liner in today, the Sun Princess, so I went over to have a look.  Very impressive moored up with that Harbour Bridge as a backdrop.  



















Look at the two photos below and see the men working on the roof of the ship and the band of
people walking over the top of the harbour bridge. 

Can you see the people on the top?















There they are.



I had lunch in Buckleys again. Can't keep away from the place.

Buckleys list of craft beers. 









































A bit later on I decided to return home on the Manly ferry and despite the weather becoming threatening again and taking a turn for the worse, it still gave plenty of opportunity to photograph some of the various interesting scenes we passed on the way over.
