Sydney

I had a course in Sydney at the start of the week so we took the opportunity to head up for a weekend.  Kelley hadn't been to Sydney before (apart from a work trip) so we did all the classic touristy things, as the photos below will demonstrate.

We had an early flight up on Saturday morning and left in the early morning haze of another hot day in Melbourne

Sydney had nicer weather although our first venture out we got trapped on the Harbour Bridge in a downpour for an hour.  After that it was perfect.

On Saturday night we went for drinks at O Bar, the revolving restaurant on the 47th floor which had great views of the city.  Didn't take the camera though.

Sunday consisted of a quick stroll in the city then train to Bondi for the Bondi to Coogee walk.
