The first of what I hope will be a series of posts on my recent trip to Australia.
Any visitor probably first experiences Sydney at its harbour, which gives a million vantage points to view the city from. There’s one secret to the charm — multiple perspectives of the heart of the city; each spectacular.
There’s the architecture — a mix of old colonial and modern glass, even leaving aside the Opera House.
And call me stupid, but I couldn’t get over how well Sydney’s signs were written.
In my travels so far, I’ve found cities to be variously amusing or drab, zippy or sleepy, grand or quaint; but I never thought I’d ever find a city beautiful. Sydney, however, had a beauty so unexpected it left me in disbelief.
We had just planned to be in Sydney for only a day. It felt like we could stay a lifetime.

Wow regret not going there when I was in Singapore
Wow, breathtaking photos, Anshul! I, too, regret not visiting Australia when I was based in Singapore.
“It felt like we could stay a lifetime.”
Sounds like you’re ready to make some relocation plans? ;)
Ok, I have to ask – where on earth were you to get shot #01?
Amazing shots by the way!
Now for a longer writeup..
Sherene: Thanks. Nah, no relocation plans involving Australia, so far!
Shash: That’s from the harbour bridge pylon lookout. It gets you 87 m above sea-level, not as high as the bridge climb itself (134 m); but they do let you take your own camera. We did the bridge climb as well, and I can tell you the views from the pylon are more or less similar.
