Day 8 More of Sydney Harbor and the Botanical Gardens

We explored The Rocks which was originally a barracks for convicts and is now a craft center. We found Hofbrau and had a great German lunch which was relatively inexpensive by Sydney standards.

In the afternoon we explored the Botanical Gardens and the Government House. The latter is home to the Governor of New South Wales; Ausstralia's most populous state.  We were fascinated by the way Australia's state government is organized.




The tour through the Government House is only done on the weekends, presumably because the Governor still lives there.



Nice view from the porch.

Tomorrow is our day long trip into the Blue Mountains. Expect some kangaroo pix!
