Sydney

From Melbourne, we took a 12-hour train ride to Sydney, seeing a lot of the Australian countryside along the way. It primarily consists of farmland, a few hills, and green grass. It was fun to see all the sights that you've seen in pictures so many times. We saw the Opera House, walked across the Harbour Bridge, took a ferry ride to an area called Manly, went on a walking tour to see the historical sights, and hung out with the bats in the botanical gardens. The weather was great (except the day that we went to the beach at Manly, of course) and the city was beautiful.
