Gustaf's visit (part2)

Sunday at Manly

(Remember you can enlarge the photos by clicking on them)

 
On Sundays we often make use of a family pass that costs us $2.50 per person. Then one can take as many trains, buses or ferries as you want to. Economical for us. The public transport is quite pricey as everything else here in Sydney.


This day we went into town and then took a ferrie out to Manly, a popular beach  for surfers as well as for families.








The volley ball nets are there for public use.
















If you take the promenade to the right you walk into a nature reserve and end up at North Head one of the entry points into Sydney harbour area. We have walked there on other visits. It is quite spectacular the scenery and there is a type of vegetation that reminds us of the Cape Fynbos. Gaby read that it is a plant community endemic to Australia and that reserve is the only place where it is found. So obviously well protected. We didn't know that previously so will take note next time we walk there.



Street cafes in the main walkway down to the beach.







Another pretty view of the operahouse and city.
