So Sydney then...time for some pictures you all will have seen before!

I thought I should post some pictures that I took when I first arrived in Sydney, Australia seven months ago. Obviously the place is amazingly beautiful, but remember, the most amazing thing is that these photos were taken in the DEPTHS of a Sydney winter.


Of course the one "must see" in this city has to be the harbour bridge. It is as good in real life as it looks in the picture and even with travelling across it every day on the train I think it is impossible to become nonchalant with the magnificence of the engineering.


If anybody tells you that the best way to see Sydney is to get on a ferry - believe them. It's fantastic. As with the bridge, again it’s a journey you will never tire of. Here is a view of the main ferry terminal into the CBD - Circular Quay.


No pictorial diary of Sydney would be complete without a picture of the singing house.


The harbour is always alive with colour. One day I promise myself I will learn to sail.


In my opinion the best beach in Sydney - Manly.


More manly! Well I don't hear anyone complaining!
