Sat 14th.
Thought Sat morning would be a better time to get through Sydney, though on the radio they said a Triathalon was being held in town and some roads would be blocked, but as far as we could make out none that we wanted to use. The Harbour bridge was to be closed Sunday morning but we hoped to be well away from it by then.
Anyhow we headed North and went over the sea bridge which we had done before but going the other way.

This is the roadway built out over the sea, as where it was before, it was constantly being closed by rock falls. You can see to the left of the photo where the old road ran,just below the lower cliffs.

A great piece of engineering that solved the problem of road closures.
From here we connected up with the Princess Highway which took us straight into the middle of town, though nowhere near the closed roads thank goodness. It all gets a bit hectic from here as there are traffic lanes going all ways so its up to the Navigator to keep her eye on the GPS and tell me in advance, where to go. We skirted around the Airport and ended up at the harbour Tunnel.

From here it was the Submarine act as we dove under the Harbour. Now about this time the GPS normally stops working through lack of a signal, so when you get out the other side you haven't a clue where to go. Sound familiar Rob!! Anyhow our one kept going so we came out the other side with sighs of relief. We only had to do the one trip!!

About to do the dive under the Harbour. Time to hold your breath!! Look at the lanes to chose from when you get out the other end. You don't want the GPS to crash now.

Half way through and all that water up there!!
Anyhow we made it through and on to Narrabeen, just North of Manly and apart from a little detour up and down a hill, the GPS was having a bit of a joke with us, we found and booked into the caravan Park.
Tomorrow we meet up with Grant in Sydney and spend the day with him. But that's for the next installment.
Bye for now Dave and Helen.
