We started the morning by taking the bus up to a suburb north of Sydney called Ryde, where we given a tour of a construction site. The site will be a shopping center; shops will be opening before Christmas, but construction will continue on while parts of the building are being occupied. The tour gave us an insight into Australian construction methods. Later in the afternoon, we climbed the South Pylon of Harbour Bridge, where we learned about the bridge's construction and saw some great views of downtown Sydney and the Opera House. The day was warm, so we decided to head back out to Bondi Beach. Unfortunately, we still aren't used to the sun setting so early due to it being winter here, so by the time we made it out to Bondi, the sun was getting low and the temperature by the water was much lower, so it wasn't long before we headed back to downtown for the evening.
