Sydney, Australia

 





Sydney is the capital city of the state of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia. Located on the Australia’s east coast, the metropolis surrounds Sydney Harbour and extends about 80km from the Pacific Ocean in the east to the Blue Mountains in the west and about 80km from Ku-ring-gai Chase National park and the Hawkesbury River in the north and north-West, to the Royal National Park and Macarthur in the south and south-west. We drenched ourselves in Bondi beach, one of the amazing beaches I came across in recent times.

Sydney’s marvel is definitely the Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre. It is widely regarded as one of the world’s most famous and distinctive buildings and a masterpiece of 20th century architecture. Designed by Danish architect Jorn Utzon and completed by an Australian architectural team headed by Peter Hall, the building was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1973.  We had a chance to celebrate New Years eve celebrations with amazing fireworks at the stroke of the midnight. Sydney is one of the most beautiful and picturesque liveable cities in the world and no wonder why Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) is indeed one of the greatest Cricketing venues in the world. Had a chance to see Rishabh Pant’s great knock in SCG test live in the beach but ultimately Australians had a the last laugh.
