On Sunday, February 24, to ensure we left the hostel, we ventured further into the city and walked everywhere and saw St. Mary's Cathedral, the Archibald Fountain, Mrs Macquaries Chair, the Sydney Opera House, Harbour Bridge, The Rocks, The Garrison Church, and the Queen Victoria Building. It was supposed to rain but we were lucky and it held off until the late evening. I'm not sure how many miles we walked but we were gone for about 9 hours so I'll assume a good 4 miles, at least.

The Garrison Church is in The Rocks area and I really loved the architecture of this church.

Queen Victoria Building is huge - it is filled with stores and restaurants (ok, food court restaurants) |

The dome inside the Queen Victoria Building is awesome |
