It's school holidays here in Sydney, so there's not much blogging going on at the Beach House. Although I did have a great cane lounge side of the road coup yesterday, but that's for another blog.
These shots were taken on a recent trip to the city with the Beach House Brats. There's so much to do in this town. This day we did the Police and Justice Museum and the Spring Flower display at David Jones. We also caught up with these fantastic indigenous musicians at the Quay.
A spot of lunch in the Botanical Gardens was also on the agenda, so the kidlets could run wild.
This is the Rose Garden, a favourite Sydneysider's wedding ceremony location.
David Jones is a beautiful store in the heart of Sydney's shopping district. Each year it does a magnificent Spring display of flowers. Mr Beach House wasn't keen, but this is one show I don't like to miss. This year did not disappoint. Lots of beautiful Australian natives.
The Melbourne Cup, the horse race that stops the nation, is coming up on the first Tuesday in November, so the millinery department was buzzing and bulging with Spring colour.
I bumped into this cute group of international students, who appear very much to like their designer bags. One way to individualise a school uniform., I guess.
I just thought this woman looked very attractive.
I wonder what he's thinking. You can see he has is army pants on so I know he's in awe of this guy.
Have a great week people!!!!

Thanks for sharing some more interesting sights and history from your part of the world. I love Australia.
ReplyDeleteI love photos from your home and surrounding area. These are splendid. More...?
ReplyDeleteSydney is a great city. My husband was lucky to have set up a big industrial project right by the Sydney Opera House. He made many trips back and forth...I however missed out on going during that time :(
ReplyDeleteHe even saw the Indigenous Australians (is that the PC term nowdays?) playing the Didgeridoo. We have one man playing the Didgeridoo at a few places in San Diego and it is always intriguing.
Thanks for joining the party this week!
