I sometimes think Sydney is the ugliest city in the world with its poor architecture. We lost so much. xxJosephine Tale Peddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16431330956687490112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-39305933882486969112010-06-03T22:49:52.868+10:002010-06-03T22:49:52.868+10:00What a fabulous post as always Jane!

If I lived there I'd wear a tiara all day, and especially in the bath, and try to live my live as slowly as the past you depict.<br /><br />(I was v. amused by your hair up situation - I sometimes get that treatment when I don't wear blue.)Misehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784548726623938608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-80203101929057689592010-06-03T19:03:26.613+10:002010-06-03T19:03:26.613+10:00what a great post - love the history!

I think they need the space to build a rail bridge or something like that.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475155333546477042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141972872292928899.post-57112788650134933872010-06-03T12:25:38.826+10:002010-06-03T12:25:38.826+10:00Look at the magnificance of the fish markets.
