Since then I had landed in Sydney many times, but none of those flights have made the descent over that initial view and every time I share that experience and recall the excitement and wonder I felt that very first time.
These pictures were taken at the end of October. It was a hot, well hot by UK standards at 30 Centigrade. We stood and looked at the Opera House and marvelled at it's beauty. Opened in 1973, from an design published in 1957, the Opera House is 40 this year.
Listed on the World Heritage site as one of Australia's treasures and no visit to Australia should exclude this beauty.

Interesting. My brother is in Australia right now. He's always loved it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I've always wanted to visit the Opera House- I hope I get to some day! Interesting O post!
ReplyDeleteI was a child when it was built and remember it was so very exotic and different, that opera house literally on the other side of the world (from Sweden). To think that the design was drawn already in 1957, that's amazing, I didn't know that.
