I spent 4 very happy years living in Sydney. Its a wonderful place to explore on a bicycle with a bikini and sarong in your bag, a smile on your face and a camera to hand.
It took me a good amount of time to really feel present and at home in Sydney after moving there from London and leaving a lot of close friends behind. An old work friend/musician kindly reminded me 'you can't love a place until it loves you back' as in one must create the memories that impress upon the heart before being able to fully feel more rooted with a new place.
Sydney did just that to me. Enjoy.
