We stayed at the Hyde Park Plaza Hotel which was handy to the underground and mono-rail. This was the view out of our window looking across Anzac park to the Centrepoint tower and downtown.
It turned out to be a bit of a dodgy area at night however.
It's a small world - one evening in the hotel laundry I bumped into Graham Englefield (a bloke I worked with at Courage in England). He was travelling with his family around Aussie in a camper van.

Today we caught the ferry across Sydney harbour to beautiful Manly beach. We bought the girls new UV suits (or "rashers" as they're called here).
On the way back from Manly we saw the Volvo round-the-world yachts moored in the harbour.
