Out and About in Sydney


Thursday June 28th

Just for fun, Mary decided to give us a ride on the monorail today. It is going to be ripped out of Sydney this time next year, so they decided to have a ride around the city on it. It looks really ugly in the street with it's rail in front of lovely heritage buildings but it is a really fast way to get around the city and the view is amazing.
Here we are having a ride on the monorail.


The day pass included the light rail as well so after one circuit on the monorail so we got off and transferred to the tram. It was jam packed and it looked unlikely they would get a seat. But when it got the Star City stop everyone suddenly left and went into the Casino.
Star City Casino.  We were not  allowed toraid our piggy banks to go in here!
 Nothing much at the end of the line, so we stayed on and went back to Glebe and had a walk around.

On the way back they got out at the Casino and went to  the theatre and booked tickets to An Officer and a Gentleman, (the musical) for Friday night.

The evening was spent catching up with Mary's cousin Liz. After drinks on level 47 of the round building in Australia Square we went to Liz's apartment for dinner. Magnificent view over the harbour but it was dark so it was just lights.
