Sydney: Post 4

I read this morning that the Australian government is hoping that the new Baz Lurhmann movie "Australia" will revive it's ailing tourist industry. I was a little surprised that visitor numbers dropped in 2008 on already low numbers in 2007. I'm guessing it's less to do with the country and more to do with the distance/cost of flying. It's a long way and it ain't cheap. But the reward for those that brave the journey are quite amazing.

Here are some more pictures from Saturday, the day I had in the city before I left for London. Sadly, the weather was not so good so the shots look a little dull, but I can guarantee that Sydney is a magificent sight whatever the time of year.
