Circular Quay in blue as part of the Vivid Festival [^] framed by palm trees in Dawes Point Park.
Vivid Circular Quay
I mentioned the Vivid Festival in Sydney on BrizBunny – a festival of “light, music and ideas”. I accidently got to see all of this because Mrs CannibalRabbit went to see Mary Poppins with a friend and I tagged along. Circular Quay was abuzz with tourists and Sydneysiders coming to see and photograph the lights.
Literally all of Circular Quay was lit-up. Circular Quay station, the two AMP buildings and the Four Seasons Hotel were all illuminated by series of different coloured floodlights. All of that on top of the laser show playing on the Sydney Opera House.
Yackandandah Antiques
Yackandandah is a small, sleepy town in north-eastern Victoria, that was once on the main highway from Melbourne to Sydney. Now it is well and truly bypassed, but with it’s Gold Rush heritage and 37 heritage listed buildings in the tree-lined main street the tourists keep coming. On a beautiful autumn day like this it’s easy to see why.
Foggy Morning
It’s nice to start a day seeing hot air balloons. Leaving the Lilydale Memorial Park and driving through a fog-draped Yarra Valley the morning seemed to to get even better. The clear sky promised of a beautiful autumn day once the fog burnt off.
