We arrived in Sydney on Saturday Dec 20th and departed on Tuesday Dec 23rd.  We stayed with Rosie Ch'ng and Belinda Chapman.  They were very gracious hosts and took us around to many places.  Rosie took us also to Canberra during this trip and we saw War Memorial and Parliament.

Sydney is very interesting and beautiful city.  We took various ferry rides and toured Sydney city center which included their beautiful Aquarium.  We also visited Blue Mountain with Belinda and saw three sisters (like Oregon) there.  Also went and saw Sydney Olympic Park at night. 

Clearly highlight of our visit to Sydney was the great Sydney Bridge Climb.  It has 1337 stairs, 1.5 football fields above the water, and a breath taking view of Sydney, surrounding suburbs and all the way to mountains.  Of course, we could not take pictures while we were climbing but they took some pictures for us but not in digital format so cannot share.  Fancy equipment to climb including radios and  harnesses for safety.  We climbed at night and it was beautiful - weather was good except it was windy and views were breathtaking and climb was exciting and you felt you are at the top of the world when you are up there!  Highly recommended on your next visit to Sydney.
