Another Visitor contd.

17th March 2015.

Heading up the coast but the weather is not in our favour.

We stopped off at Brooklyn for a bit of morning tea.

Real people, Di and Jane, waiting for their coffee.

We continued up the coast to Terrigal but as you can see it has got cooler hence Jane wearing a jumper.

The outdoor eating are of the Crowne Plaza Hotel. A bit too cool to really enjoy alfresco dining.

Terrigal Bay.

From the lookout on top of The Skillion.

 Looking back towards Terrigal from The Skillion.

A nice day out yet again with a drive back via the ferry at Berowra Waters.

Another nice day out with our visitor Jane, up into the mountains. After a nice brunch in Wentworth Falls at the Patisserie Schwarz we headed to the falls.

Looking down the Jamison Valley from near the carpark.

 Wentwoth Falls.

A walk down to Princes Rock Lookout for a closer look at the falls.

People on the other side of the valley at Rocket Point Lookout.

Beautiful countryside.

 Just to prove that I do have people in my photos sometimes. Having been to see the Three Sisters at Echo Point we carried on around to Scenic World where Jane rode the steepest railway down to the valley floor. Here she is waiting for the ride to begin.

Later on Cliff Drive there was evidence of a resent bush fire.

At Cahill Lookout towards Mount Solitary.

Another great day out but unfortunately the photos of Jane are on her camera.

Another of our nieces visiting us, this time Jane.  Due to time constraints not all the family could travel together so Jane arrived here after spending time with her son, our great nephew John, in Hong Kong where he is working.

With our overseas visitors it is inevitable that we visit the same tourist points of interest but for us there is always the joy of showing off our lovely city and country.

A day out in Sydney to visit the Rocks Market.

One of the many visiting cruise ships towering over buildings in The Rocks area.

Geometric patterns created by the covers over the market stalls.

One of my favourite buildings in the Rocks area. This building is on Hickson Road and at one time was the home of the Acoustic laboratory where the Cochlear Ear Implant was developed.  

The Museum of Contemporary Art .........

........ and the new extension.

Very clever advertising which can only be seen from one direction.

Looking back to Circular Quay.

Sydney's first icon, that lovely old coat-hanger.

Circular Quay and the city on a lovely summers day.

Looks like they are about to release pigeons at any moment.  Not my idea of travel.

Our second city icon.

A very talented young man busking on Pitt Street Mall. Check him out on you-tube.

The beautiful Strand Arcade.

A great statement by not my favourite architect.

Ain't love grand. This young lady ran out of fuel and Sir Galahad rode up on his charger with a bottle of petrol in each pocket!

A great day out in our lovely city.
