02.01 Sydney Opera House, Botanical Gardens & the Rocks

Our last full day in Sydney, we decided that an early start was to be had and headed down to the Opera House to take some photos before the crowds arrived! We also walked round to the Botanical Gardens, took some more photos before we had to check in for our BridgeClimb!
