Sydney two…

Of course the Bridge had to be walked over, what an amazing structure it is too. Slightly concerned by the cracking and water stains in the non-metal support structures. Patch jobs will only last so long, I wonder if the public purse will stretch wide enough for repairs… Also noticed a few similar problems in the concrete underbelly of the Opera House. Not that I’m an expert of course

At the start of the pedestrian part of Sydney Harbour Bridge which you get to from The Rocks, behind the fence and inside the support pylon, is the NSW Railway Institute, complete with table and chairs out the front. Their website says they’re based in Petersham so I’ve no idea what this little spot is all about.

Sydney…

Decided to get out of town while Melbourne goes horse crazy… to another big town. Go figure. Something to do with frequent flyer points and leaving things to the last minute, again.

Good to be here though, where there’s a sense of distance and contour that’s lacking in flat old Melbourne, bless her. Tourists of Circular Quay aside, it does seem somewhat quiet here though, surprisingly. Perhaps they’ve moved to Melbourne…
