Part 11..... Sydney, half way point.

It's funny, but today I leave for Sydney,7th February 2010,
In 1967, it was my 1st visit there.

From Melbourne to Sydney Harbour (Circular Quay)was a very calm an uneventful journey of a few days.
It was a pleasure to see,also a pleasure to leave.

I will be spending a few days in Sydney so I will hold my conversation until I get back, surprises are waiting for me,that I am sure.
40 years and more after my 1st visit, the changes must be enormous.
So let's go on vacation!!.
