The new sails were delayed in transit so we had a couple of days to kill in Mackay. Andrea and I decided to fly down to Sydney for a short visit. It felt weird being back in a major city after visiting the villages and towns of the Pacific islands.
We were only in Sydney for a couple of days so it was a push to cram all the "must sees" into our time there. On day 1 we visited the Aquarium, Harbour Bridge and Opera House. On day 2 we did the Skywalk on the revolving tower, took a ferry trip to Manly Beach and then spent a couple of hours at the Sydney Boat Show (which just happened to be on during our visit).
