Nighttime in Sydney, end of our second day
More nighttime, with Harbour Bridge at right
We visit the Observatory for a night viewing through a telescope from 1876, looking at stars not seen from the USA.
Next morning, we get to MacQuaries Point early enough to catch Opera House and Harbour Bridge in good light

We wander through the Botanic Garden, Domain, and Hyde Park. Here's St. Mary's Cathedral in Sydney.
Australian Seal on Supreme Court Building
We return to Bondi Beach. Very warm today, lots of people and skin.
The sand at Bondi Beach is perfect, the water is so blue. And shark nets out at sea keep away surprises.

We climb to the observation point at the top of the stone "end" of the bridge. Very high up, but not as high as I'll be soon.

Looking back down at the Bridge traffic from the observation point.
From the observation point, looking up at the Bridge we'll be climbing tonight - note the group climbing on the right.
