Sydney in pictures

28 March 2010 6 Comments

After a very long bus journey from Byron Bay I finally reached Sydney, my last stop in Australia. I don’t usually like big cities, but I really enjoyed spending two days wandering around Sydney.

King’s Cross

Bars, clubs and strip clubs fill the streets of the sleazy King’s Cross.

The Rocks

The Rocks market in Sydney

The Rocks is the site of the first European settlement in Sydney. The narrow streets that once housed factories and warehouses are now filled with markets and pubs aimed at tourists.

Sydney Harbour Bridge

I had considered doing the bridge climb, but at almost $200 I decided that it was just too expensive.

Botanical Gardens

The Botanical Gardens provide an excellent escape from Sydney’s busy streets.

Sydney Opera House

The Sydney Opera House is one of the most recognisable buildings in the world.

    I don't really like Sydney (not compared to Brissy or Melbourne anyway) but these photos make me reconsider. Nice work.

    I always thought Sydney was my least favorite Australian city, but I have to admit that pictures like this make me rethink it. (Plus you can get pineapple pretzels at one of the food courts.)

    Wow great shot of the bridge! That last picture is absolutely stunning! I am going to be moving to New Zealand and we are going to be visiting Australia once we get there. :)
