Friday July 1st Day 13

                6:30 Wakeup call then brekky from 7
                8AM leave on coach

Bondi Beach
The Rocks
Visited Bondi Beach, the sand was so soft. The beach can get up to 40,000-50,000 people. This is the place to go in the summer months Dec-Feb, its allright now but its their winter months now June-Aug. But still fun place to hangout at. Walked the Rocks as well. The Rocks is Sydney's oldest preserved colonial district so the main emphasis is on the historical importance of the area.
Colorful Opals

Crystalized fossil

11AM Visited the Opal Collection. We learned how opal came to be, the different types of opal, the different colors. They are beautiful unique gemstones with different colors. Bought a few necklaces for family back home. They are on the pricy range but they are worth every penny, so beautiful.

12 its lunchtime and we got a tip that The Ship Inn had pretty good food there. The margaritta pizza was amazing! The whole menu looks good.

On the Harbour cruise
Free time until 2PM when we have the Harbour cruise at 2:15
The Harbour or the Coat Hanger was very cool to see and to also see the Opera House

Wombat sleeping
3:45PM  more animals @ Wildlife World. We saw a great range of animals from big butterflies, to snakes and spiders, crocodile, the easter Bilby, kangaroos, wombat and more koalas, that was great! While waiting for everyone else to come out we all sat down and had chats

The Travelodge
NSW
Had dinner at 5:30 with whole group, sang to the music that was  playing ...

Some people after dinner went off to do some last minute shopping but went back to hotel got changed and met up at Macquaries with Heather. Couldn't believe how fast two weeks went by so quickly.
