April 2010 – Sydney Harbour Tour with Katie

Katie Hodgkinson, came and stayed with us on Kanaloa for a short visit.  We’ve known her since she was 8 years old, in England.  She’s now living and working in Melbourne.

We had time to take her to the zoo and a trip around Sydney Harbour, just after we’d got our new bimini put over the cockpit.

I wonder if the giraffes actually enjoy their view over Sydney harbour?

The baby elephant is just 2 months old now, born to it’s Thai elephant Mother in January.

The only time we’ll have this angle for a photo, the spray hood was away being fitted for the new bimini!

Sydney Opera House in all its splendour, offers a great view over to Government House

Those small matchsticks at the top of the bridge are people climbing it!

Contrasting architecture between old and new Sydney

This is the more classic style of Sydney architecture, which has nearly all been demolished now in favour of less attractive modern style, which is great from the inside, not so lovely from the outside.

Canoeing in Balmoral Bay is a great way to keep fit in your leisure time in the waterways around Sydney.
