Here are a few quick pictures from our final day in Sydney. The highlights of the day were two self-guided walking tours. First we did a walk through The Rocks - the first sections of the city established by the First Fleet of convicts who came here. Then we took a ferry to the other side of the harbor to hit up a few craft breweries in a neighborhood called Manly. It was a fun and low-key final day in town! Enjoy the final photo slam.

| This hostel was built around an archaeological dig of original buildings discovered here. Notice also the "Christmas in July" reindeer on the site! |
 |
| This is a section of original road surface. One section nearby was discovered just in the past 30 years. |
 |
| This shed is original to the area - early 1800s. Today it is still a shed for the house visible in the left of the pic! |
 |
| This 1800s well was discovered during recent renovations to this home. |

| This is Greenway Lane - a tiny, hidden away stretch of original roadway! |
