# Circular Quay Unexpected Journey

Circular Quay is the most popular place in Sydney. There are many wharves in Sydney, and most of the ferries come and go to the Circular Quay.

There are 5 Wharves there, from Wharf 2 to Wharf 6. You can get on board the ferry just like a bus. It is well set up for every person to get on the ferry. Just tap the card to a turnstile and wait for a ferry to open at the proper platform.

But! Be careful. You must be razer eyes for the heading direction of the ferry. Somewhat reason, Sometimes there is a change of timetable or stops.

I searched Google Maps for directions, and it was supposed to stop by four stations from Circular Quay to Barangaroo. 
 * **F8 : Circular Quay -> Milsons Point -> McMahons Point -> Balmain East -> Barangaroo**

But suddenly, the table of stops had changed. I didn't know that. So, unfortunately, I had to take an unexpected journey, like the one below.
* **F8: Balmain -> Birchgrove -> Greenwich -> Woolwich -> Cockatoo island —> F3 : Barangaroo**

Anyone who knows why this happened, please comment below.

But I think my trip has become more dynamic because of the uncertainty. Just lying on the ferry chair, I watched the beautiful sights of Sydney Bay, including the experience of transferring the ferry(from F8 to F3).

How can I experience transferring the ferry except Sydney?

# Chinese Garden

Next to Chinatown, there is a huge garden called the Chinese Garden. It sounds awkward to hear that there is a Chinese Garden in Australia, but it is not awkward. Since Australia's history started, the Chinese have also been part of it.

If you visit Sydney, I recommend you visit the Garden. The Eastern beauty of the architecture and the harmony with nature are evident.

Oh. There are also lizard guests. So don't make them surprised by sudden or loud noise.

Take a rest here in the middle of your travels.

# Kangaroo steak at the Black Bird Cafe

As a dinner, I searched for a special menu. Kangaroo steak. Australia is famous for kangaroos (you know). But there are lots of kangaroos in the wild, so it is an issue for farmers to wipe out these animals.

Kangaroos are a herbivores, so they eat plants. It is natural for them, but farmers don't like it. Ironically, kangaroos fight each other, which makes them muscles. So their steak is famous for being dense and nutritious.

That's why I wanted to try the steak, so I found the right restaurant: Black Bird Cafe, located beside Darling Harbour.

I ordered a Kangaroo Streak and a Forklib. On the way of order, I said kangaroo steak to be medium rare, but the staff recommended that it would be better to eat it as rare, due to Kangaroo meat being too tough.

Yes, she was right. Even if it was rare, it was still tough but delicious. It tastes like tough beef with a wild-dried grass flavor.

If you want unusual food. Try it in the Black Bird Cafe!

# Jogging at Darling Harbour

After I had eaten, I took a rest for a while. And I went out of the Hotel to go jogging.

While you are walking out or exercising on the outside somewhere in Sydney, you are supposed to find out that many people go jogging.

I really love that mood. People don't care about health in Korea. Of course, some people do. But most people just do it for a short period. It's an event, not a daily life.

What I learned in Sydney, Australia, is that exercising must be a daily life for me. It gives me Oxytocin and Adrenaline, which makes life much better.
