The area called Circular Quay (pronounced in French, like "key" in English) is only a few blocks from my hotel. That is the area that has the wharf with ferries, the Contemporary Museum of Art, The Rocks (old area of town), lots of fancy restaurants, the Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House.
Next to the Opera House, which is beautiful, is next to the Botanic Gardens. We walked all through the gardens and saw beautiful trees and flowers, including the "spring walk" which is covered in spring flowers like Cherry Blossoms, tulips and camellias (it's early spring in the Southern hemisphere). We also saw an enormous amount of bats!! There was a tree full of them - they were waking up, stretching their wings when we came by. Very interesting.
