I started this year with a visit to Australia and a stop at Sydney, so this will be a good way to wrap this year.
My last day in Sydney before heading back out I spent exploring the Royal Botanic Gardens and Opera House, which was within walking distance from my hotel in the center of Sydney near Hyde Park. Though it was pretty gloomy, and partly affected by the wildfires that were raging in the nearby regions, it was a good way to wrap up this visit, with what has become a symbol of Sydney. Some grand views of the harbor, a terrific park with great walks, it summed up a wonderful visit to Australia. I do hope I’ll get a chance to come back and visit soon.
Shall we go for a walk?
I started with Hyde Park…
Ventured in to the gardens…
And made it to the opera house and Sydney Bay…
And then circled back to the south …
