guess where ! |
We took a couple of ferry trips including around to Barangaroo on Darling Harbour to see the expansion
of the tourist precinct and the site of another Packer casino. Just what every
city needs – two casinos opposite each other on prime waterfront property.

interesting new apartments at Barangaroo - dwarfed by more mundane tower blocks |

a cruise ship dwarfs everything |
|
the old waterfront warehouses have been gentrified |
|
The Hungry Mile - so named during the depression when men lined up here hoping for a days work on the docks |
|
now look at it ! |

And lunch at the rooftop bar at Coogee

nothing like when my grandmother lived here |
Our friends introduced us to some of
the new developments including the Tramshed,
and a unique pub on Millers Point.
The ground floor of the Hotel
Palisade is a typical old fashioned Sydney pub with dark brown tiled walls ( easy to wash down) and a rowdy
clientele. The three levels above have been renovated, including the addition
of a roof bar with magnificent views of the harbour. As the sun set we sat back
with our cocktails and mood music in the background and enjoyed the show. Sydney
Harbour is fabulous.

We are blessed with some very kind friends who took us in and shared their homes with us. Thank you to Margaret and Paul, and Georgina and Paul. Looking forward to seeing you back here with us soon.
