We took a risk visiting Sydney in the middle of winter but as you can see from the photo above, we had plenty of sunshine. The views of the opera house and the harbour bridge (see pic below) from the top of the Museum of Contemporary Art were spectacular. Our children flew from Auckland to spend the week with us and we enjoyed their company as well as that of other family and friends who are lucky enough to live in this wonderful city. The week flew by in a happy whirl of sightseeing, art and music, cafes and restaurants, bus and train rides and browsing in book and record stores.
