Day 8 (06/10/22)

 We started off our day by heading back to UTS with Professor Adair. We watched the movie Sherpa, which shared the experiences of the Mount Everest Sherpa community following a deadly avalanche that killed 16 in 2014. As a class we noticed some parallels between the treatment of the Sherpas and the treatment of the indigenous of Australia. 

Following our visit with Professor Adair at UTS it was lunch time! Everyone broke off and explored China Town. I ended up getting a duck with rice dish. We headed towards Circle Quay following lunch. 

After lunch we got on a cruise through the Sydney Harbor. From the water we saw the Opera House, Sydney Harbor Bridge, and more!






We then took a tour inside the Sydney Opera House. Although the concert hall was under renovation, we were able to go in the Opera and Dance Hall. Everybody was amazed with the inside of the Opera House, and at the views of the Harbor from the building. 




Following the tour Morgan and Preston went and climbed the Sydney Harbor Bridge, while the rest of the group went and ate at El Camino, a Tex-Mex restaurant that was recommended by a fellow SU student.

Everyone is excited for a pancake breakfast with the Burtons tomorrow!
