Gorgeous March Lilies
These beautiful lilies are flowering in all their glory in gardens at the moment.
Brush Turkey in a Tree
This poor Brush Turkey was terrorised by a dog and chased up a tree, the owner of the dog kept asking the dog to leave it but the owner never even got up or put their dog on a leash!
Carriageworks Farmers Market
We visited the Carriageworks Market for the very first time, it was excellent with fresh farm fare like honey still on the comb, fresh vegetables, and many more it was like an adventure discovering all the various stalls.
Vaucluse House
Vaucluse House is one of Sydney’s few 19th-century mansions still surrounded by its original gardens and wooded grounds. Colonial emancipist William Charles Wentworth bought the house in 1827, and over the next 5 decades, William and his wife Sarah developed Vaucluse into a large and picturesque estate. The grounds were extended and flourished to cover most of the present-day suburb of Vaucluse. In 1915 Vaucluse House became Australia’s first official house museum and continues to entice visitors to its lush and still secluded grounds. In 2015, Vaucluse House celebrated 100 years of being a museum.
Fabulous Sandstone carving at The Rocks in Sydney
The "First Impressions" sandstone carvings have three sides each representing a particular group of people that helped to establish early Sydney, this side represents the settlers. The piece was designed and sculpted by Bud Dumas during 1979
Sophie at Cooper Park
Enjoyment is walking our dog, Sophie, in Cooper Park. This was in the days prior to isolation and lockdown due to spread of the COVID-19 Coronavirus.
Queen Victoria Building
The Queen Victoria Building in Sydney is amazing, it has been lovingly restored and transformed into a magical shopping centre. Painstaking care has been taken to keep the original feel, features, and history and yet to make it feel modern, upmarket and special. I have to visit again just to see the beautiful stained glass windows.
Centennial Park
Centennial Park is so peaceful and beautiful. Just sitting in the park creates a sense of distance from that noisy world out there, you can feel that calm feeling draping you and the rest of the world no longer exists.
Ivy Covered Doorway
While out searching for a house to rent we came across this ivy surrounded doorway. Although unusual and attractive, I don't think I could walk through this doorway comfortably without thinking of spiders!
Paddington Reservoir
The Paddington Reservoir that served the area in the 1800's has been lovingly restored and turned into an intriguing and beautiful public area, almost a secret garden.
