A Day to Remember- Sydney Harbour Tour and Much, Much More
 |
| Ready for the harbour tour |
Some toured the harbour, others toured the opera house and Royal Botanical Gardens, or climbed the harbour bridge. I couldn't wait to hear all the stories at the end of the day.

Fort Denison (foreground) is a former penal site and defensive facility occupying a small island located north of the Royal Botanical Gardens. The island is also known as Pinchgut. A private, behind-the-scenes tour of the Opera House (background) was a big hit.

A Day at the Races-The Melbourne Cup
Today was a BIG day in Australia; it was day of the running of the Melbourne cup. A group of us went to a local pub and bet our dinner money on the horses. The locals "dress to the nines" for this event, so there were lots of fancy dresses and fascinators on view. We had a few winners among our group and lots of fun was had by all!

A Fascinating Shopping Experience
Of course, being fascinator-less, we knew we had to get some. But before buying , there was a lot of trying on.
