Sydney at last.

We got here, bit of a trek,  3 hour time difference and big contrast to sleepy Perth City.


I thought The Sydney Opera House was going to be a bit bigger.


It was made by a danish architect, Joern Utzon. The original price was estimated at 7 million dollars but the final building cost was 102 million dollars. Utzon tired of all the criticism and complaints resigned and left Australia in 1966 .
 After it became a global success, in 1999 Australia begged him back to help with renovations.
