My personal blog about my trips

What grabs my attention on the Sydney Tower site isn’t the main deck, but that open-air walkway perched way up top. Height does something strange to your thoughts - suddenly you’re above rooftops, above traffic, even above birds. The city spreads out like a moving map, detailed yet distant. You do not expect how quiet it feels, so high above everything. That stillness makes the view sharper somehow. Not many places let you stand outside at that level. It changes how you see familiar streets. Up there, normal things look different. Your mind adjusts slowly. Perspective shifts without warning. Floating beyond the tower’s edge, Skywalk sets feet on glass high over busy lanes, while Sydney spreads out - quiet, wide, alive under open air. Foot by foot, the ground here pulls feeling into view - mood tangled with terrain, discovery sparking quiet wonder. Awe shows up without warning. Ahead of every visit, clear information appears online - exact points on safety sit beside prep steps. Through...

Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney  Hugging the edge of Sydney Harbour, Royal Botanic Garden stands out thanks to old trees, quiet paths and postcard scenes. Spotting a bench tied to someone special? It might have been placed there nearly a decade ago - prices shift based on where it sits. Over near the waterline, where sails glide past, naming rights run up to nineteen thousand five hundred Australian dollars. A little farther in, among lush green corners, sixteen thousand five hundred buys a spot. Further still, tucked toward quieter zones, twelve thousand five hundred covers it. Each name lives on a small metal plate fixed nearby, staying put for exactly ten full turns of the seasons. Those who join the supporter circle get mail every few months - fresh pages filled with plant tales and events, arriving once per quarter without fail. Stories fill the pages alongside details about garden life and events held there. Bright red catches your eye fast when you spot the New South Wales Wara...

  Visiting The Rocks Markets 1. Do The Rocks Markets open on weekdays? Yes, but only on Fridays . The markets open Friday from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm , and they are also open on Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm . So technically they do open on a weekday (Friday), but the main market experience is usually on the weekend. 2. Which bus stop do you have to get off at to get to The Rocks? If you take a bus through Sydney’s CBD, you should get off at Bridge Street . From there, you walk north to reach The Rocks area. There are also other nearby stops along Alfred Street near Circular Quay , which are only a short walk from The Rocks. 3. Which shop are you most interested in? Why? The shop that interests me the most would be one of the handmade jewellery stalls at the market. I like them because the jewellery is handmade by local artists, so every piece is unique and different from what you usually find in normal shops. It’s also a good way to support local creators an...
