Darling Harbor Zoo: one huge crocodile. A duck-billed platypus. A Tasmanian Devil.

Sydney 2017


We settled into Sydney finding a meal in its Chinatown near our hotel. The next day was a bus tour of the city and its history. We stopped at photo places then went on a tour of the Sydney Opera House. Pictures were not allowed in the stages there, but were okay elsewhere. We then went to the National Opal Museum for a presentation on Australia opal mining and industry, and of course, a shopping opportunity. The next day was a free day and went to the aquarium and zoo at Darling Harbor. The pub next to the hotel was pretty good, too.
