I was there back in June 2016! Even went to Bondi Beach for a swim, something that usually can't be done at that time in NZ.

Heh, only a New Zealander (or maybe a Canadian or Scandinavia) could do that. I was born and raised in Sydney, and we'd normally stop going to the beach around Mar/Apr as it became too cold.

OTOH, there are the "Bondi Icebergs" who go swimming all year around, accompanied by a large block of ice. :nb)

What the little white things? Looks like a rabbit and... koala? wombat? Are they floats on the harbour, or land-based on Miller's Point?

The view of North Sydney beyond the bridge brings back fond memories. It was my favorite area of Sydney to work in -- much better than the CBD.

was wondering if some one would notice that ... yes rabbits ... I didn't get any closer
so not sure of their exact location. but they appear to be more likely on this ( under bridge ) side of harbour

My dad did overhear someone complain how cold it was. "Cold?!" Also heard some complaints about the price of petrol, when it was lower than the prices in NZ.
