Travel Postcards from Sydney
Balmoral Beach
After missing many turns and thwarting all the efforts by Google maps to confuse us, we finally made it to Balmoral Beach, just in time to catch a glorious sunrise.
Cockatoo Island
Cockatoo Island is Sydney Harbour’s largest island, where you can explore the island’s convict and ship building history. It is a #UNESCO world heritage site, which was used as a prison for convicts in the 19th century. This photo is clicked in an old turbine building, which is the largest building on Cockatoo Island.
Chinese Garden of Friendship
Nestled between tall buildings, in the heart of Sydney CBD is this beautiful and peaceful garden of friendship.
Wentworth falls – National Pass Trail
After hiking for more than an hour I came across this mini waterfall, which was flowing just below the beautiful Wentworth falls, in the Blue Mountains. You can read all about my hike here
Woy Woy
Woy Woy is a lovely coastal town in the state of New South Wales. This was taken on my first visit few years back. I didn’t own a car back then, so took the train to reach the place and spent my time near the waterfront.
Fishers Bay
Few meters away from Spit Bridge – Fisher’s Bay is the first Bay you come across on the way to Manly. Spit to Manly is a popular 10 km long coastal walk in Sydney. Since I am not a long distance runner or walker, this walk is just perfect for people like me. Moreover, the views on this walk is simply spectacular.
Darling Harbour
So I looked out of my 11th floor office window and … behold!! A beautiful double rainbow splashed across the sky.
Watson Bay
The sound of waves crashing against the rocks filled the air at The Gap. This was clicked on another coastal walk along the cliffs at Watson Bay.
Bondi Beach
This was clicked somewhere near Bondi Beach, when I was trying to complete Bondi to Coogee coastal walk. This is another extremely popular walk in Sydney that boasts of gorgeous views of the sea, the snaking coastline and a famous cemetery.
Wow. Gorgeous pictures. Chinese Garden of Friendship and Watson Bay surely caught my attention 🙂
Lovely photos. Sydney still on my list, but soon I'm moving closer to Australia, so hopefully very soon, I'll go there.
I've heard such great things about the Blue Mountains but have yet to see it with my own eyes! Wentworth falls looks incredible – goes to show there's more to Sydney than just Bondi and Darling Harbour!
The Chinese Gardens of Friendship have been popping up all over my instagram lately! It looks like such a wonderful place to stroll through. Beautiful photos, they really make me itch to hop on a plane to Sydney! 🙂
What beautiful photos! My partner was born in Sydney and want to go back, I think you just helped convince me 🙂
Beautiful pictures and post, I love the Chinese Garden of Friendship!
