[179/365] Pocket Watch Necklace, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

This was my new purchase at Paddy's Market and it was so useful throughout the trip. Time was crucial to our travels and I always had this handy around my neck. In the background is a ferris wheel we saw as we walked to Darling Harbour. Last few hours in Sydney! Next stop: Cairns, Australia!

[178/365] Bondi Beach, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Our short trip to the beach makes me want to come back during an Australian summer. It was chilly because it was later in the day, but I still made sure I walked out on the sand and close to the water. Beautiful beach - next time I want to be in that water!

Cute penguin swimming around in the water at the Taronga Zoo, just a short ferry ride from the Harbour. :)

[176/365] View from Atop the Sydney Tower, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

From atop the Sydney Tower in the downtown area, there are views of all the high rises, as well as the Harbour Bridge in the distance. I love looking at city skylines by night!

[175/365] Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House, The Rocks, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

After leaving Espiritu Santo, I had a stopover in Vanuatu's capital city of Port Vila where I spent a couple of hours. After departing there, I headed back to Sydney. On our first full day in Sydney, we explored the areas around the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. We made our way to the Rocks area of the harbour where we got great views of both the bridge and Opera House. The Opera House was smaller than I imagined it to be.
