Very enjoyable morning walking around Sydney city discovering artworks didn’t know existed even though we live here. Suggest taking swimmers for a dip in Marrinawi Cove (Barangaroo). We stopped for waffles & ice cream at Barangaroo. The elevator at Barangaroo wasn’t working- so steps down. Darling Harbour the Helm bar pane mural isn’t there anymore but pretty easy to get the clue 😊 Look forward to doing more Questo.
