| Grand Pacific Drive (Seacliff) |
Our
three nights in Kiama were a nice break from our travel pace to date and we
were re-charged and ready to head the 132 kms into Sydney via the Grand Pacific
Drive and the Seacliff Bridge.

The
weather was 21C by 8:00am so after packing up our gear we already needed to
head for showers again before getting underway. And it promised and was hot all
day topping nearly 30 C with bright bright sun.
The
cliffs surrounding the Kiama to Sydney shoreline are quite different than those
of the Great Ocean road and appear to have been formed in a similar fashion to
Devil’s tower. So the Grand Pacific drive hugs the coastline near Seacliff, and
then winds its way through the cliffs on its way to Sydney.
We
are lucky that our hotel is within (long) walking distance of the Opera House, The
Rocks, and the Harbour bridge

as well as the other downtown core tourist sites
so after checking in early to our hotel, parking the car and getting lunch we
head out for the afternoon.
What
struck us immediately is what a beautiful setting Sydney harbour is, and we sat
back later in the Botanical gardens just off of Farm Cove and watched the
harbour activity, and people go by.

Not
far away was the Sydney Library and while technically closed for renovations it
was open to look around and we went into the grand library hall.
