Sydney, Days 3 and 4

Yesterday was our first opportunity to see the inside of an Australian university. We spent time at the University of Technology, Sydney, where we met Professor Patrick Healy of the School of the Built Environment. We attended a class of his, where we listened to students' presentations on managing subcontractors. After that, we walked through Chinatown on our way to Darling Harbour. After eating dinner, we walked up Observatory Hill, where we had a fantastic view of Harbour Bridge and North Sydney, as well as a lot of bats.

Today, we were given a tour of the University of Sydney. The campus has a mixture of new and old architecture, which we learned about from Professor Trevor Howells from the Faculty of of Architecture, Design and Planning. Professor Howells is considered to be the top historian of architecture in Sydney, and possibly all of Australia. After spending the morning and much of the afternoon at the university, we took the ferry back to Manly. We walked over to Shelly Beach, and then did some bushwalking around North Head. Once it started to get dark, we headed back to downtown Manly, where I had an excellent dinner of prawns in curry sauce with jasmine rice. By this point, we were beat, so we took the ferry back to downtown Sydney and called it a night.
