Day 118 - tourist Sydney (almost certainly part I)

The Manly ferry into Circular Quay gives a great view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge aka the Clothes-hanger (spot those minuscule figures doing the SHB climb...) and of course the Opera House, next to which we picnicked (including being dive-bombed by hungry/greedy gulls).





Around the corner is the impressive Gothic former Government House (sadly closed for tours til tmrw - but meanwhile we wandered the grounds : look at the size of the fig trees compared to Duncan on the bench!) and looked in at the Botanical Gardens.




As well as its famous beach, Manly has a fine council building and war memorial, with Australian and Aboriginal flags flying.
