Photographing Sydney’s CBD
Sydney’s CBD and all its buildings are iconic. The skyline with the bridge and opera house are very recognizable and ridiculously photogenic. You can get some amazing photos from the ferry to Manly, but my favorite spot was the park on the other side of the harbour bridge. In Milsons…
Chirping skies
I love seeing some good street art, especially when it’s unexpected and catches you off guard. While walking around Sydney my friend directed me to a laneway near the City Recital Hall, called Angel Place. It’s in the heart of the CBD and yet off the radar. When my friend…
Crossing the harbour bridge

First settlers down under

Governor Philip arrived with a small group and built the first farms. It all started small, but now it has grown and became a suburb of Sydney.
