Fish and Fairy Floss

April 16th

One of my favourite views of the
ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) Bridge

Ended up walking all the way from Newtown to the Sydney Fish Market in Pyrmont, a 40 minute walk. The Sydney Fish Market is the largest in the southern hemisphere. Every weekday there is a large auction of fish. The fish for all the restaurants in Sydney, and beyond first go through this market.

Outside the Sydney Fish Market

Following the fish market, I met up with a few people at Circular Quay (Circulay 'key'), a central transportation hub in Sydney, where we all decided to walk across the Harbour Bridge.

It was not as bad of a walk as I thought it would be, as it only took about 15 minutes. Luna Park was our final destination, right on the side of the bridge. The entrance to the park is marketed by a humongous (and dodgy) smiley face that is modeled after the creepy face at Coney Island. Within the park is also the oldest operating fun house in the entire world.

The park is very small with only a handful of rides. Still, it reminded me of many other carnivals, and the fun times I've had at them in the past. I only rode one ride, because it was a whopping ten dollars a ride. I mostly just walked about and took in the sights.

It's pretty cool to see a ferris wheel operating with the picturesque view of the Harbour Bridge in the background and the rest of the harbour as well.

While taking in the picturesque view, I ate fairy floss. Fairy floss is what Aussies call cotton candy. The floss really completed the experience! Tomorrow I am going to Star City Casino, the 2nd largest casino in Australia.

Keep it level!
