Day 10 January 23, 2025 Flight from Uluru to Sydney

Day 10 January 23, 2025 Flight from Uluru to Sydney

Today was a major contrast between the heat of the Outback small town of Uluru and the indigenous community and the cool breeze of Sydney and a dinner cruise in the Sydney harbor.

The flight took us over much of the heart of Australia. It is truly a giant Country and it is basically barren.

Arriving in Sydney we boarded a coach and it took us to the city harbor and we enjoyed a lovely dinner and an even lovelier harbor cruise. Sydney harbor is indeed one of the most beautiful harbors in the world. Hong Kong harbor might give Sydney a run for first place.

Tomorrow we will take a walking and bus tour of the city and will enjoy a tour of the Sydney opera house before we go on board our ship. Tonight we are staying in a very nice hotel the Marriott Bonvoy.

We saw the rock up close, at sunset and at sunrise. Aw we leave the outback this is from above.
The Exchange, the 6,680-square-metre building is the first completed building of Kengo Kuma and Associates in Australia. The circular building includes a mixture of programs: market hall, public library, a child care and food and beverage units. Located in Darling Harbour in the center of Sydney’s downtown district.

I thought it looked like a stack of giant paper plates.
