I thought I'd post a few more pics from our first day in Sydney. (I've reduced the resolution of these images to allow faster downloads.) Enjoy...

| Looking for service? |
 |
| The Garrison Church built for the military personnel who "accompanied" the shiploads of convicts to establish the very first settlement that became the eventual city of Sydney and spawned the nation of Australia. |
 |
| View along the street in front of the church - do you see the top of the Sydney Harbor Bridge? |
 |
| Interior of The Garrison Church. |
 |
| Want to preach from this pulpit? ... become an Anglican! |
 |
| Lovely stained glass windows throughout the sanctuary. |
 |
| The Argyle Cut... imagine this without the bridge. Then imagine the convicts who toiled by hand to dig this passageway through a steep sandstone ridge to connect two parts of the harbor area. The Rocks area, where the first ships landed in 1788, is in the distance. |
 |
| Can you see all the pick marks in the stone? Hard, back-breaking work! |
 |
| Dave near the Opera House looking across at Sydney Harbor Bridge. |

| Dave with the Opera House in the background. An amazing bit of architecture. |
