Sydney!

Finally a three day weekend off. Its down to Sydney for a look around and visit family and friends. And whilst we are down there lets get in some sight seeing.. Cruising by boat from Meadowbank to the city centre we come across nothing less than the Sydney Harbour bridge and look onto the Opera house... with an ol boat cruisin through....






Below the Opera house up close and personal;








As we are cruisin around the city, we are aware of the fact that we have become accustomed to country life as we attempt to push through the crowd. Yes we find it almost unbearable... but alas we find comfort (and pizza) in a pub.... Below the throngs of people;



As we meander around I spot some men getting ready for the days orders of food at there restaurant, below is a shot of there pegs as they prepare. I find the city interesting as all cities are. They never appear to sleep

rain, hail or snow, and as it happens it pouring on this day. Still its an adventure!



















Ahhhh the joys of photography, I attempt to embrace the different colours and the dullness that the rain has to offer sometimes encaptulates a different light and reflections... there is also something about people with umbrellas that captivates my interest as well. Anyway moving on to find some Aboriginal fellas dancin to the didgeridoo.

It was great to catch up with family and friends. It was great to see and experience a bit of Sydney and the city life. However it also was great to head home to the country and quiet life of the outer regions of Taree.
