We returned back to Sydney Australia from Christchurch, New Zealand on Friday, January 16, 2009. We left Christchurch Airport at 7:00am and arrived in Sydney Australia at 7:30am.


After clearing Customs and Immigration we transferred to a hotel in the Circular Quay area and spent the afternoon enjoying the sights and sounds of Sydney including a visit to the Sydney Aquarium to see a Platypus, since we were unable to see one in the wild.


On the evening of January 17th we did a twilight Bridge Climb of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It was a great experience that I would recommend to anyone visiting the area.


Here is a photograph of the Sydney Harbour Bridge – you can see other groups of climbers on the bridge structure.
