We take the Essential Tour to get into the Opera House. Besides showing music halls and different function rooms, the tour also focuses on the story of the designer, Jorn Utzon, his creation, resignation and re-engagement.

2-hour train took us to the rural side of Sydney. Blue Mountains is one of the nearest national parks to Sydney. The best-known landmark of the region is the Three Sisters. Compared to the national parks in North America, Blue Mountains is less impressive in terms of majesty. It is a good recreation area for families.
