Sydney Part 3

The Sydney Casino. You can't see it so well, but there are water falls all over the forn of the place. That red bus was my savior the first day of my trip. It took me to al the sights and kept me dry.
The famous Bondi Beach. It was so windy that day, you can tell by the siz of the waves! While walking down the street the darn wind almost blew me over.

This church was started in the 1800's and the two spires were just compelted in 2000. Talk about a long construction process! It looks like they are still working on it!
I was so happy it cleared up enough on Sunday for at least one of the outdoor markets to open. They close this whole road and put up the large canopies every weekend. This market is in an area called the Rocks. It is one of the oldest areas of Sydney. One thing I thought was funny about this area, since it is right by the docks, they used to have a problem with rats coming off the ships and bringing the plague. So they built this huge wall to stop the rats from getting into the city!
This is an old convert on a rock cliff that is now a ritzy girls private school. I thought it was a really pretty building
