We have a free day to wander so we decided to visit the Museum,  The Hyde Park Barracks,  where the prisoners exiled from England in the early 1800s were housed.   They were work crews,  building the early buildings in Sydney, including the barracks themselves.   It was well done and very in interesting!

We had purchased a couple great Australian pies for lunch and enjoyed a mini gelato and some aboriginal diggerydoo entertainment

We decided to take a quick ferry trip to Manly!  A lovely way to spend an afternoon on Sydney harbor!

Manly is a cute beach town,  on the bay and the ocean.
