Sunday we flew to Sydney, our last stop in Australia before heading to New Zealand. Sydney is the capital of the state of New South Wales. Its population is about 4.6 million. Because it is one of the most expensive cities to live in the world and the cost of the average home is 1 million dollars, about 75% of the dwellings are apartments.
It was settled as a penal colony (as was much of Australia) by England in the 18th century. The city is best known for the Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and fine beaches, to note a few.
Here are photos from Sydney. (We've had beautiful weather, as you can see.)

| My crocodile burger. Does NOT taste like chicken. It was mild-tasting and a bit salty. |
A special treat for us was a guided tour inside the Opera House.
