Wednesday Before Easter - Sydney!

I stayed in Killara and walked to the train station to get to the city.  I found the names of the eateries along the way quite interesting -

From the train I spotted this lovely formal garden -

As I walked through Martin Place I saw an intriguing image on a building

I had a yummy breakfast - along with scores of "suits"  - perhaps they were all having "working" breakfasts?

 My goal was the Art Gallery of NSW for the Archibald Portraits.  I couldn't take photos, but go here for images of the finalists.

On the way out I spotted this picture by Michael Johnson

big gobs of paint sat on the surface

The floor of the building had interesting designs

To get to the gallery you walk through the Domain which has these gorgeous trees

and an enormous trumpet vine

No trip into the CBD is complete without a visit here

to have an overdose of chocolate: mix-your-own hot chocolate

and chocolate cheesecake

More design inspiration

then sparkling harbour views from the train, including Luna Park
