The Ibis have embraced inner city living with gusto, particularly in Hyde Park
Perched on a bin in the park is by far the best place to watch little people play a game of giant chess
The beautiful bronzed Theseus slays the Minotaur
Lose track of time at the Art Gallery of NSW where exhibitions from around the world abound
A casual stroll through The Royal Botanic Gardens
unearths the extraordinary and the beautiful.
Hardly surprising given that it is THE centre for plant conservation and research
Walking through the Domain and Gardens leads to
the one and the only
.... and the Quay
Walk all over the city at Customs House
for it houses a large scale model of Sydney's CBD
viewed through the glass floor
....whilst the entrance to this historic building features
the iconic Meander
the iconic Meander
Sydney's first water supply, the The Tank Stream still silently runs under the city.
A bronze fountain at the Quay is dedicated
A bronze fountain at the Quay is dedicated
‘to all the children who have played around the Tank Stream’
The bright face of Sydney
reflects its history around every corner and on every building

Thank you Carla - I had forgotten how beautiful the city is - I always see it from across the harbour (in itself a beauty!), so it was a joy to re-discover so many things the other day when taking visitors around. We are blessed - or should I now say "expensively" blessed as Sydney has just reached No 9 in the list of most expensive cities in the world! Loving your new blog F x
DeleteI miss Sydney !!
ReplyDeleteWe miss you too Yukie. Come back soon. F xx
