Well my Australia trip ends today & I fly back to the cold leaving my daughter behind. I am not sure if I will visit again as at nearly 80 I found the journey etc exhausting. Also funds are dwindling! But I do love Sydney

Caught in a deluge down by Sydney Harbour this morning. Took refuge in a cafe and had coffee and toasted banana bread with espresso butter. I forgot the rain….

As an ex librarian I love visiting libraries. Today I went to the NDW State Library. Wonderful browsing and looking and a great coffee shop as well

Visited the Australian Museum this morning. Great building and the exhibits fascinating. The mineral room was the best!
