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.

Sydney Tower

Sydney Tower

This Sydney icon can be referred to by many names: the Sydney Tower [^]; the AMP Tower; AMP Centrepoint Tower; Centrepoint Tower: or just Centrepoint.

The Sydney Tower stands at 305m tall, making it the second tallest free-standing building in Australia, Q1 on the Gold Coast is the tallest.  The tower is the third tallest observation tower in the southern hemisphere, behind the Auckland Skytower [^], and Melbourne’s Eureka Tower.  This is despite the fact that the observation deck on the Sydney Tower is 50m higher (at 250m) than the one in the Auckland Skytower [^].

While Queen Victoria was berthed at Circular Quay the Sun Princess was forced into decidedly second-rate accomodation at the old Sydney Docks just outside of Darling Harbour.
