Stanley in Sydney

I'll write more about wonderful Sydney in another post - I just wanted to get these photographs up to show what fun Stanley has had so far...

We took a boat-trip to nearby Manly, and probably the best shots of the Opera House and the bridge are from the water.

Sydney Harbour Bridge, also taken from the boat, is pretty impressive. Built by a company from Middlesbrough, England, who also built the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle.

There's an option to take a 3-hour climb up to the top, but Stanley doesn't have a head for heights (and, more importantly, a spare $150!).

Here's Stan scaling the side of the Opera House. The fact that he's a little bit hard to see has given me an idea for future photographs...'Spot Stanley' (a la Where's Wally). What do you think?

The outside of the Opera House looks a little like snakeskin from a distance, but actually it's covered in over a million glossy and matte tiles, imported from Sweden.

Stanley enjoying the view from the Sydney Tower, the tallest structure in Sydney. If you look carefully, you should be able to see the top of the Opera House by the water.
