I've arrived in Sydney on Friday, Jan. 13th. Although the dear citizens of Sydney obviously weren't as reluctant to demolish old buildings than the Tasmanians, there is still a lot to see. Therefore I will split my last post into 2 parts.Thanks to all the blog friends for their advice and tips.

Part 1 (Jan 13 & 14, 2012)
Sydney seems to me a fantastic city. The need for space and the power of money have prevailed however sometimes over the preservation of some of the historic buildings. Still, at closer look, they are still there. However somehow overshadowed (literally speaking) by lots of skyscrapers and highrises. Errol would have problems recognizing the city at all today.
 Just imagine, that the construction of the Harbour Bridge just began in 1926 and wasn't completed before 03/1932. Surely Errol has seen the construction in its earlier stages.  From the Museum Of Sydney I have some historic film footage about the construction of the bridge. I hope I can put it on the You Tube channel soon.
The attached photos show "Lady MacQuarie's Chair" (by special request from Steve Randell :)) at the Sydney Domain. Errol states in MWWW, that he took "refuge in a cave". That must have been the close area, although I didn't find a full or deep cave there, but some sort of overhanging rocks.
The other photos's show Circular Quay then and now. And there is a actual photo from former hotel Ushers. Today it's a fashion shop or similar (Bulgari). Errol frequented the bar quite often ( in MWWW he says he once met Freddie McEvoy) and he snitched counter lunches from there.
