Cremorne Point Foreshore Walk ...

The first peek into the harbour

Since I only have a few more months left of living in Sydney and it's unlikely that I'll ever live in this city again (Sydney, I've decided, is amazing if you have money and can afford to live on the water.  Not so wonderful if you don't), I'm aiming to make the most of it while I'm here.  This past weekend, Dad, his partner Carla and their dog, Archie, were visiting me.  Yesterday, we walked the Cremorne Point Foreshore walk.  The walk hugs the coastline and has some terrific views of the water, the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the Taronga Zoo.  There weren't too many people on the path, despite the fact that it was a lovely day.  We did run into the same park ranger twice and got ticked off twice (well, Dad did) for not having Archie on a lead.  We finished off the afternoon with a burger and a beer next to Manly Beach.

Two Sydney icons - Opera House and Harbour Bridge

Not a bad view from the Cremorne swimming pool

Another Sydney icon, the ferry

Looking across to the zoo - the 'Birds of Prey' show

Lush gardens on the harbour

A giant asparagus?!  Or a cactus?!
 
Big home

Another big home

Into the rainforest

A home in the rainforest
