SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA


SYDNEY
is the state capital of New South Wales.
The most populous city in AUSTRALIA! It is on
the south-east coast, on the Tasman Sea.
In 1770 Captain Cook landed at
Botnay Bay south of what is now Sydney.
Sydney was established
in 1788 at SYDNEY COVE. It was the first
British colony in Australia.
Some shots from around the "Harbour City".
 
 
QUEEN VICTORIA!
  
 
ST ANDREW'S CATHEDRAL
Consecrated in 1868
  
This was an interesting section of the city. These are
condos on the water where you pull your
boat in to park!
 
 

These are the ferries that go to the different
areas in the harbour

 
We walked along the harbour path so we could see
the Opera house and Harbour Bridge
from a different angle!
 

 

When the settlers came and discovered
Sydney, they had difficulty growing crops
 because of the abundance of
sandstone.

GOOD DAY MATES!
