    Exploring Sydney: A Photo Diary of Cockatoo Island

    September 9, 2020 /

    Exploring Sydney’s amazing ship building history on Cockatoo Island. Cockatoo Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site at the junction of the Parramatta and Lane Cove River in Sydney Harbour, New South Wales, Australia. It is the largest of several islands that were originally heavily timbered sandstone knolls and was once our central shipping building industry for many decades. Located in the heart of Sydney Harbour, just a short ferry ride from the CBD, Cockatoo Island is an extraordinary place where you can either spend the day exploring its remarkable history, spend a few hours having lunch at the many great eateries, or spend a few nights in their beautifully…

    Finding Peace Away from the City at Cordeaux Dam

    June 24, 2020 /

    I’ve lived in Sydney my whole life, and I had no idea we had so many dams surrounding our amazing city, like the historic Cordeux Dam. Located around an hour and a half south of Sydney, somewhere in the middle of Campbeltown and Wollongong is one of Sydney’s most historical locations called Cordeaux Dam. It’s heritage listed and provides water to the Macarthur and Illawarra regions south. Construction of the dam began in 1918 and was completed in 1926 at a cost of 945K pounds, with walls consisting of large sandstone blocks, which were quarried onsite and cemented together and hold approx. 93,640 ML of water in the reservoir. It’s…

    Paddington Reservoir: Sit, Relax and Unwind

    March 29, 2020 /

    Paddington Reservoir in Sydney’s East is a well-kept secret, which many Sydney-siders haven’t even heard about. It dates back to 1866 and was in full operation until 1899 before being closed down. For a while, it sat in transit, as unused space, lost in history and forgotten. Until it was re-opened in 2006 as a beautiful sunken garden and water retreat for locals to take a stroll, sit and sunbake, read, study or explore the old caverns of the reservoir. Following on from my ‘Things to do in Sydney’ (mostly for free or on a budget) this reservoir is a must-see for anyone passing through Sydney on a visit and…

    December 22, 2019 /

    If you’re looking for the best streets in Sydney to explore Christmas lights on houses, I have found you the best streets.

    Is This The Best Asian Food in Sydney?

    September 18, 2019 /

    The Dew Drop Cafe at the Nan Tien Temple may just be one of the best Asian cafes in all of Sydney. When I crave original and good quality vegetarian Asian food, there’s no better place than enjoying a delicious yummy lunch of rice noodle soups, shared mixed vegetable bowls or a variety of dumplings, all accompanied with a stunning herbal tea, at Dew Drop cafe. Okay, so this cafe isn’t exactly in Sydney. though if you are heading down south for a drive one weekend, it’s not that far out of Sydney and easily one of the best places to stop in and enjoy delicious Asian cuisine. Set amongst…

So many fashionistas - some I liked and some not so much. All interesting though, and great to watch (both the show and the interesting people attending). 

It’s nice to do something different every once in a while - for the experience.
