We did a walking tour of Sydney today. We saw the Opera House of course, and walked partially across the Harbor Bridge. We'll have to save the walk over the top of the bridge for a future trip when we have more time.

We saw the Australian Museum and a food fair in a local park.

Rob bought me the most beautiful opal pendant. We stopped at a shop named Opals on the Rocks. It was located on Harrington St. in an area of Sydney called "The Rocks". It's an historic district around the harbor. The owner was very knowledgable about opals and described exactly why some were priced at $40,000 and why some were only $175. I never knew all those details, but she explained it in a way that made perfect sense. I would highly recommend her shop to anyone who is lucky enough to travel to Australia.

We will be leaving early tomorrow morning for Cairns. More to come.
