Photoessay: Sydney, Australia

I took these photos walking around Sydney Harbour and thought I would share them with you. Sydney is Australia’s most populous city with 4.6 million people and the site of the first British colony in 1788. However, there is evidence of Aboriginal settlements in the area going back at least 30,000 years.

Although it is more than a decade since I left Sydney, it is always a lovely place to visit. I hope you enjoy the photos.
