For the love of Photography and Travel
There hasn’t been too many great days like this in autumn this year, so it’s pretty cool the finish my favourite season with some clear blue skies over Cronulla beach in Sydney’s south.
Finishing the season with a brisk 17 degrees and it’s definitely a jumper weather out there today.
There’s something pretty special about that winter sunlight too, so I’m looking forward to the change come tomorrow as winter is officially here in Sydneytown.
Bring on tomorrow’s winter light.
Til next time!

After recently coming across this awesome street art in Marrickville, I thought I’d continue the search for more great street art in the streets of Sydney.
After a bit of researching I hit the streets of Sydney’s Surry Hills to check out the amazing artwork of former Sydney Swans player, the great Adam Goodes created by Hamish McBride, Laura Paige, Megan Hales, Jacqueline Butterworth and Kailin Hegel from advertising agency and art studio Apparition Media.
Deep in the heart of Surry Hills and only a short walk from Central station, it’s located on the corner of Crown and Foveaux Street. On this particular morning it was bathed in morning sunshine and it stands as one of the more striking murals you will ever see.
For those that are new to Sydney, Adam Goodes played 372 games for the Sydney Swans in the AFL. As much as he is known for his on field heroics, he is just as well known for his outstanding work in the Aboriginal community.
A man definitely worthy of his own mural and to make it even better, it’s also only a few kilometres away from the Sydney Swans home ground the SCG.
It’s well worth the pilgrimage for any AFL supporters or for anyone who loves a good mural.
Congratulations to everyone involved, it’s definitely a must see in Sydneytown.
Til next time!

Maccallum Pool
If you’re a fan of ocean pools then it’s pretty hard to go past one of the best in town. The photogenic Maccallum Pool in North Sydney.
Tucked away in Milson Road, Cremorne and not far from Cremorne Point, it’s definitely worth checking out for a swim or a picture or two. It aslo is number 15 in my Pools of the Sea Series, with another great pool in Sydney’s North here the-iconic-north-sydney-olympic-pool
With beautiful views of the Sydney CBD and the Sydney Harbour Bridge it’s a pretty hard to find a better spot in Sydney.
With street parking and a short walk to the pool it’s pretty easy to access and with a high point looking over the pool and the city, it makes for a great picture. But made even better by jumping in for a swim.
It’s also home to one of the more unique views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge as it overlooks some classic early Sydney homes.
It’s definitely a great spot to visit and I’d definitely recommend a trip to Maccallum Pool on your trip to Sydney.
Til next time!
