Sydney VI

Museum of Sydney*** Located near the Circular Quay, costs $10 per person. It's not a big museum, with the main focus on the history on the beginning of Sydney and its transformation. It also has videos on the building of Harbour Bridge and history of Fort Denison.





McD time! The cheapest lunch we could find in the city, due to their 'loose change' menu. Only $2 for a double cheeseburger or chicken burger! GOSH.. .. 

Ferry ride to Manly Wharf! It is said to be the best ferry ride from the city. Bypassing the Opera House and Fort Denison.

Opera House, front view
Fort Denison
This fort had been used as a fishing spot, defence structure, navigational guide, tide gauge station, weather station, time marker and now a restaurant and museum. We just passed by this fort during the ride. 

Manly Wharf
It takes about 30min to reach here by ferry, the same if driving from the city. A small town with beautiful beach to relax. The more popular beach around Sydney would be Bondi Beach, but according to locals, they like Manly better since Bondi is too touristy.


The street of Manly. The first look of it, we thought we are in BALI. LOL



Manly Beach



Ferry ride back to city @ sunset

If you zoom in, you can see some humans on the bridge top. It is one of Sydney's attraction, Bridge Climb. Of course, it is costly! About $200 depending on the hour of the day and date you are climbing. Once in a lifetime experience! But surely not for someone who is afraid of heights!

Sydney V

The Paddy's Market**** at Haymarket. Located just end of the Chinatown(Dixon Street). It is quite a big market, mainly selling souvenirs and clothing. You can find the cheapest souvenirs here!

Shopping street, front of Westfield Shopping Centre.

Cooling off with GELATO~ ~

On the ferry again~ 
Since our tickets includes ferry ride, we should fully utilize it! =P

We enjoy every time of the ferry ride, especially at sunset.
