Downunder (4)

The last pictures, to send you with those flowers a bit of sun and warmth


And also because Australia wouldn't be Australia without the everlasting cricket games and without its surfers...

Another icon of Sydney is the famous Harbour Bridge, nicknamed "The Coathanger", and which you can cross to have a global view of the Opera and on the City.






A few other pictures taken downtown, wandering in Woolloomoollo, in the botanic gardens or in the Galeries of the Queen Victoria Building:

Walking around the harbour, following the different coastal walks, you get the most amazing views, from one lighthouse to another one, from the edge of the cliffs to the famous Harbour Bridge, in the middle of million dollar mansions, passing by a surprising cemetery. Some would kill to have such a view, others just had to die !





Coming back downtown, to Chinatown, the Chinese Garden of Friendship, surrounded by skyscrapers is a great place to spend a moment away from the rush of the city.

G'day !

Here I am, back in Australia, 2 years after the trip from Perth to Darwin.
This time, it is a business trip, 3 weeks in Sydney. Long days during the week at the office, but also during the week ends, in order to see as many things as possible.

Let's start with the most classical part, no way I can avoid adding a few pictures of their amazing Opera House (believe me, there are a lot more pictures of it on my camera than just those ones...).





One thing (among so many others) that I've missed a lot since last time is the incredible fauna. A bit scary sometimes (as they say here "in Australia, everything will try and kill you if you give it a chance")
