Sunny, sparkling Sydney

Posted on by

Sydney has many beautiful blue sky days. When the sky is blue, Sydney, especially, by the water, is absolutely stunning! It’s a busy, bustling city that appears to have been less impacted by the pandemic than Melbourne. There are lots of lovely places to visit. Big name, iconic sights as well as more hidden treasures. Old buildings and gleaming skyscrapers sit side by side.

The back of Governor’s House – The free tour is interesting and worth doing.
The gardens behind the Governor’s House is beautiful and has a stunning view of the harbour. Spot the Opera House in the background!
