Sausage on the Barbie

On Monday, we looked inside St. Mary's Cathedral, then headed to the Parliament building. I asked if the chambers were open to the public, and the woman behind the desk gave us a mini tour of the building and both chambers.

 We then went to the Bank of Australia and through a free museum there. It was actually really good and cool to learn about how the currency is made as well as the history of currency in Australia.

Walking down Martin Place, we happened upon a free barbie lunch. We didn't have shrimp on the barbie, but did get a free sausage with grilled onions. Yum!

We then took a ferry to Watson's Bay, a posh suburb of Sydney. There, we went on a walk to South Head, which had amazing views of the ocean crashing onto cliffs below. There was also and old light house and gun emplacements. We the had some fish 'n chips at Doyle's Wharf, before setting out on a 7 km walk from Watson's Bay to Rose Bay. The walk took us past some really expensive mansions, some historic sights and houses, as well as some cliffs and beaches.

We then caught a ferry from Rose Bay to Circular Quay, and then a train to Petersham, eating at a Thai restaurant that was very nice. it was very good and relaxing after a long day!
