The second day we did a free walking tour by a young Australia girl. She was very resourceful as she started her business doing free tours and just working off tips. She's been doing it for five years and has been successful enough to be able to quit her day job.
Afterwards we had lunch at a great restaurant right along the harbor where you could see views of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. We had some good fortune in that the Queen Mary 2 was docked in the harbor that day. What a magnificent ship.
The building was officially opened on 21 July 1898. The building fills a city block bounded by George, Market, York and Druitt Streets. Designed as a marketplace, it was used for a variety of other purposes. The building consists of four main shopping floors. The top three levels have large openings (protected by decorative cast-iron railings) that allow natural light from the ceiling to illuminate the lower floors. Much of the tilework, especially under the central dome, is original, and the remainder is in keeping with the original style. Underground arcades lead south to Town Hall railway station and north to the Myer building.
Luna Park Sydney is an entertainment precinct of many faces. These days you’re just as likely to visit this superbly restored fun-park to catch a concert at the Big Top, eat classy cuisine at The Deck or take in the million dollar views as you are to ride the Tango Train or Ferris Wheel, as folks have been doing since 1935. It's a people’s park where you can throw a party for the kids, host your dream wedding or stage a gala for thousands in the state-of-the-art Crystal Palace. But it is quite small in comparison to american amusement parks.
