Singapore & Sydney-Post #9 “Tuesday in Sydney”

Tuesday was a full day out at the HP offices in Rhodes… a 30 minute train ride from downtown Sydney. Good meetings held with one of our partners and some of the local HP healthcare team.

When we were done, we took a Ferry down the Parramatta river from Meadowbank to Circular Quay in downtown Sydney.

It’s a bit too far to see detail in this picture, but in the distance beyond the bridge is the Olympic village from the 2000 Olympics.

This is our ferry, on its way up to Parramatta, before it turned around and came back to take back to Sydney.

During the trip down the Parramatta, you play ‘peek’ with the city… here’s a shot as we made one of the many turns.

Throughout most of the trip, the riverside was full of very nice homes…

A timely look over my shoulder allowed me to catch a nice bit of the sunset… as it’s moving toward winter down here, the sun sets around 5PM.

The river is pretty twisty-turny… but this is unbelievable!

As the daylight started to fade, the city is betting closer.

Cockatoo Island is the largest island in Sydney Harbour. Located at the junction of the Parramatta and Lane Cove rivers, Cockatoo Island is a former imperial prison, industrial school, reformatory and jail.

One of the larger tour boats that ply the river…


Early to bed, as we have an early morning to catch our flight to Melbourne.
