Here’s to public holiday Mondays!  I’ve woken up to nothing but the birds chirping, the kettle being put on and the occasional chatter of the early morning walkers from behind the back gate.

On Sunday, Master SSG and I took advantage of the sun and $2.70 all day public transport.  We started off in Walsh Bay which holds many fond memories for me because it was one of the first places I got to know in Sydney.

There are some beautiful sculptures dotted along the wharf now.

The contrast of metal being used for art but also function along the wharf dovetails perfectly with how the area is now a centre for the arts with theatres and dance studies nestled in between the eateries and apartments.

Then we walked down the road to Barangaroo.  Sun, that skyline, footpaths and low walls just made for exploring.  Sydney, when you get it right, you really get it right.

Before hitting the stairs.

It’s so exciting seeing the new vision for the city unfold.  Beyond the park are construction sights with the hints of new skyscrapers confidently reaching upward.

Is there an area of your city that’s undergoing a bit of a transformation at the moment?
