Another long overnight flight and we are now on our tour bus in Sydney, Australia. Here we are at the famous Bondi Beach.
Bondi Beach
We love beaches and this is a great one. Right in the city of Sydney.
Ducks on Bondi Beach
Isn’t this great sand. Behind us you can see some surfers and a view of Sydney. Of course we like this fellow.
Our new friend
Ducks and seagulls are friends here. We believe he is standing on one foot. We didn’t pose with our new friend, but he sees us. Soapy’s mom loves beaches.

She is ready to stay here and enjoy the beach, but not today. We ducks found a great place to sit.
Ducks ready to ride
We are ready to ride. We love beaches, too. But, back to the bus and a short ride. We are going to Mrs. Macquarie’s chair.
Information about Mrs. Macquaries Chair
This sign explains the chair.
Ducks on Mrs. Macquarie’s chair
This chair is a little big for the Colorado Traveling Ducks, but we love looking out at the water. So, let’s leave the chair and walk to the water.
From chair walking to water
Isn’t this beautiful? We love it. Let’s go to the railing and the famous Sydney Harbor.
A great view of Sydney Harbor
On the left is a cruise ship. The ships dock right here in Circular Quay. Then the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge. This is a perfect view of Sydney Harbor. But, back to the bus and we are going to Darling Harbor.
Getting on boat for lunch and harbor cruise
Let’s follow Stephanie and get on this boat. We will have lunch here and enjoy a short harbor cruise. Lunch was delicious, and now it is time for dessert.
Dessert time
Everything was fabulous, and we loved dessert. Sitting on deck, we enjoy our harbor cruise.
Ducks on deck
You can see it is not very crowded so we can walk around and see everything.
We love seeing our tracks on the water.
The back of the boat has the least wind, so it is safer for small rubber ducks. We love to look back and see our trail on the water. The weather is perfect and we really enjoyed everything we saw today in Sydney. We want to tell you we were here in early November. So much has changed since then. When we were in Australia, we saw no evidence of the horrible fires that would burn so much of the country. And, of course, none of us had even heard of Coronavirus. We are so grateful that we went on this trip before our world changed so much.

What a beautiful day that was
It was beautiful. And we loved being on and near the water. Thought of you when looking at the bridge. A couple of our group did climb the bridge, but we did not. But you did!
So you did come to Australia. Sydney has so much to offer. Bondi Beach is beautiful and the harbour is gorgeous too. You had lovely weather for your visit.
It was wonderful weather. Couldn’t come to that part of the world and not see Australia. My third trip, but first for my daughter. Was too short, but we loved it.
You’ll have to come for an extended trip next time.
We hope to. In 2015 brother and I spent 2 months in Australia, little of Sydney, Tasmania and mostly in west. Train to Perth, drove to Broome. Center and Great Ocean Road. Loved it!
As for the duck standing on one foot, I concur! Australia would be a fun place to visit, much to see (great pix) and so glad you enjoyed it. We won’t likely ever get there…we’re not likely to fly commercially again, particularly till well after this virus thing gets straightened out. Who knows how long that will take?! So being an armchair traveler sort of has to work for now.
Keep the pix coming!
