We were in beautiful Sydney from January 24th to the 28th, so got to celebrate Australia Day while there! We sat down next to a fun couple from Sydney, a primary school music teacher and high school administrator named Julia and John, who wrote out all of the places we should visit during our stay on their napkin ... And I think we did the entire list!
First the ferry across Sydney Harbor and the Opera House ... then the ferry to Manly Beach where it seemed as if all of Sydney's students were celebrating at the beach. We went to the Quarantine Station where ill immigrants stayed until they were no longer contagious which is a short bus ride from Manly beach. Then back to Sydney, for a day at Bondi Beach and the great walk along the shore. Really beautiful! We then flew to Cairns on the 28th, rented a car and drove north about an hour to Port Douglas, a lovely seaside village along the Great Barrier Reef. We plan to read, rest up for India and relax, with a day trip to the outer reef for snorkeling.
