Sydney Australia

We spent 5 days touring around Sydney. A couple of days we just walked around the down town area, Darling Harbor and the Circular Quay. One rainy day was spent in an auto tour to the beaches and scenic areas around the city. On another day we were driven to see the Blue Mountains about 60 miles west of Sydney, as photos show, it was another rainy day, but we enjoyed seeing the area and experiencing the “mountain” resort area.
