Vivid Festival of Light

The Vivid Festival of light brightens up the dark winter evenings here in Sydney, when each year around sixty light installations and projections are put on display at the Opera House and around Circular Quay.

Here is a location map:

The Rocks Markets and Cremorne Point

Today I wondered around The Rocks markets before taking a ferry to Cremorne Point where I spent the afternoon walking the Cremorne Reserve.

Here is a location map:

There are lots of pretty old federation houses in Cremorne Point similar to this one

Coffee with a view!

I stopped for a coffee in Circular Quay on my way home this evening. As usual, I couldn't resist taking a few pictures of the city's most famous landmarks!

I took some photos from Blue's Point Reserve, as I happened to be in North Sydney today.
