Today we explored some of our favourite places in Sydney, in a new light.
Amongst Sydney’s rich history and culture, we found ourselves between the
vibrant terrace lined streets of Paddington at the Ampersand Café and
Bookstore. This unpolished gem sits in the heart of the arterial route of
Oxford Street offering coffee, food, novels and art in one small, delicious
package.
We then headed deep into Sydney’s CBD, where the concrete jungle of
high-rise office blocks are embellished with fifty suspended birdcages above
Angel Place, called ‘Forgotten Songs”. This tranquil thoroughfare then guided
us to our next destination, the serene waterfront location of Walsh Bay, where
everything old has been rejuvenated. Amongst the renovated Maritime wharves are
the cultural theatres, performing arts arenas and restaurants, with a panoramic
view of Sydney Harbour. Within the few kilometres we explored today, we
experienced the dynamics that make up the beautiful cultural mosaic of Sydney.
