A visit to our capital city this week which is a 3 hour flight for us or 2500 km roughly drive. Below are some photo’s of the buildings were we were staying which was in the oldest part of town and is now becoming very up market place to be. Town planning makes all new construction keep the original facings so you have the old structure on street level then the towing buildings behind them?????
Caught in the late after noon sun
From our room sunset reflection
Out our window
reflections old buildings reflections in a modern high rise
Old wharf and docks building with high rise apartments now built behind them, behind the bricks is a shopping mall????? 50 years ago when I worked on a passenger ship and we would dock here if the the Rocks terminal was full this area was a ghost area all buildings were closed and deteriorating now Darling Harbour is a huge tourist attraction with over 1.3 million tourists visiting a year?????
Love this photo it shows in the foreground the original copper tower of a building built around 1886 to several different areas 1930’s to the sky scraper behind housing the cities hundreds of central city lovers plus Sydney’s tower
skylines from over 100 years ago to today modern apartments and hotel
Hutton’s meat works once long ago now is full of Chinese Korean and Thai restaurants and Chinese grocery shops. Check out the name of the street ??????? does not quiet go with a meat works building????? Top part of building is 1 inch ceramic tiles would of cost the earth 100 years ago!!!!! including the tiles to make up the animals on display. They would also cost a fortune today to a collector.
Cheers Glenda
