It was exciting to visit such a beautiful harbour, including the Opera House, especially as I had come all the way from Europe. The rest of the city though is quite ordinary and has no real history unlike the great cities such as London, Paris, St Petersburg and Rome to mention only four. The Blue Mountains nearby are not really worth a visit. The mountains of the south island of New Zealand are far far better. My visit to Australia overall was a case of been there, done that but I am glad I went.
