Where Was That Photo Taken?
It's a common complaint among travellers the world over that they see a photograph of a place which catches their eye, but when they get there to take their own photograph of it, they have difficulty finding the exact spot where the shot was taken. There are plenty of such photos floating around on the internet that promote Sydney. We've isolated the most well known of them and pinpoint where they were taken.

Lookouts
It's not uncommon to see a lookout marked on a map and to go there, only to find the view has been obscured by trees that have grown up, or buildings erected since the lookout was built? Sydney has a number of lookouts like that, so we've checked them all out and come up with what we believe are the pick of the crop.

Don't Blink Or You Will Miss It
Have you ever been driving somewhere and suddenly seen the perfect shot for your photo album? The only trouble is, you are hurtling along in a stream of traffic, it's hard to pull over and stop, and if you do, by the time your car pulls to a stop, you are so far down the road, it's too far to walk back and take the shot. There are shots - and places - like that around Sydney and this page is about where those hard-to-catch photo opportunities are. We've also included a few others that you might not think (or know) to stop and take, that will add a different perspective of the city to your photographic record of it.

The Creeks of Sydney
An illustration of the vast number of watercourses that flowed through the Sydney Basin when Sydney was founded in 1788 is that the southern shoreline of the Parramatta River between Parramatta and Sydney is punctuated by many bays and coves into which flow some 27 creeks. It was the precious crystal-clear water of these creeks that attracted early white settlers to this area and led to what today are Sydney's inner western suburbs becoming the original grazing lands of early Sydney.

Bondi Beach
Bondi Beach is Sydney's, and perhaps Australia's, most famous beach. About one kilometre long, it remains one of the best beaches in the world. There is an underwater shark net shared, during the summer months, with other beaches along the southern part of the coast. Pods of whales and dolphins have been sighted in the bay during the months of migration. Fairy penguins, while uncommon, are sometimes also seen swimming close to shore.

52 Suburbs
I recently came across a fascinating blog about Sydney. The intro said: "My name is Louise. I've lived in Sydney for over 30 years but had never set foot in most of its 600+ suburbs. So from September 2009 to October 2010, I explored and photographed one new Sydney suburb a week in search of the beauty in the 'burb." I have enjoyed visiting 52 Suburbs so much, I thought I'd share it with my readers. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Sydney Naturally
On the subject of other people's websites, I came across another with an introduction that read, "I have been to a few other cities around the world like Paris and New York but when I come back to Sydney I am wowed by the spectacular harbour, the beautiful beaches and the sereal bushland. I have selected a few photos from my collection that showcase the beauty of the Sydney coastline. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy taking them."
I certainly did; I hope you do too.
