Winter Sydney.
If you’ve been reading my blog for a long time you’ll know that I’m in love with Australia and Sydney is one of my places in the world that I used to visit in summer. This time I’ll take you for a walk through a more wintry Sydney, do you think? I’ll start with one […]
Road trip from Sydney to Brisbane.
Helene & I head to Brisbane from Sydney, we’ll spend Christmas there, she with her family & I with my adopted Aussie family. The ride takes around ten hours so we decide to break it & stay half way. We leave early in the morning, the air smells of burnt, the smoke has reappeared, on […]
Back to my beloved Sydney
Here I am again, in my wonderful Sydney, in my grand bay, in my comfortable and bright home of Helene’s, in front of that window I sit and write, in my place in the world, the place where I feel at home. But it is not all joy, Australia is burning and that saddens the […]
Beaches, harbours & gardens in Sydney.
It’s summer in Sydney, enjoying its beaches is mandatory. The Tasman Sea bathes the Sydney bay. One of its northern beaches is Balmoral Beach, the first one I visited. I decided to go by bus. I took the B1 from Milson Point station to Mosman, which was only two more stops away to Balmoral. It is a family beach, […]

Equipped with my hat, comfy clothing & shoes, a rucksack with plenty of water & some snacks, I headed off […]

Our topic of conversation was books, surprised, right? Now you can understand why I spent the morning with her. She told me about May Gibbs, a writer […]
Sydney’s Free Tours & its charming Botanical Gardens
Every day at 10:30, next to the Town Hall, we can find a group of young people who offer Free Tours that last for three hours and finish in the The Rocks area. I totally recommend them as the guides are very nice & knowledgeable, they tell you many interesting things about the city. They […]
Crossing Sydney’s Habour Bridge. Luna Park.
As I was telling you, after recharging batteries, in the first day of the year I walked to Milsons Point, where I got amazed by the view I found, the Opera House and the Bridge all together in one “photo” & so close to my home! I was so happy that I got into the […]
New Year in Sydney.
31st of December, end of this year & here I am in Sydney, the only place in the world I wanted to be in. The first thing I do is to say hello to its two landmarks I hadn’t seen for years, the Opera House & the Bridge. I find many roads closed due to the […]
