As promised, here are my Sunday walk happy snaps! 1) The impressive sea themed Custom's House crest. 2) Luna Park - Sydney's Coney Island. N.B. the two spikes either side of the face are copies of The Chrysler building in New York! 3) Fort Denison,an
old convict prison that was fondly (!) known as "Pinch Gut" to it's prisoners due to this small island's lack of food. 4) The Sydney Harbour Bridge. 5)
Government House in The Botanic Gardens. 6) & 7) Tulips and more tulips from the Botanic Gardens.
It was perfect weather yesterday for a classic Sydney Harbour walk. It was amazingly warm which has inadvertently thrown me into a right spin about what to wear! I'm going to have to dig out all my summer clothes.
Hope everyone else had a grand weekend too!!
Ooh, I want to go for a walk there! Looks lovely. :)

I want to go to Luna Park! Even though I've been to Sydney I haven't visited Luna Park. I think it may have been closed when I was last there. Or maybe it was something else closed that I wanted to visit and now I'm muddled up...
Love the pretty tulips! I'm constantly amazed at the lovely variety of flowers in bloom at the moment considering it's winter. Hope you're having a wonderful week Sam. Filled with lots of stopping to smell the flowers and all that :)
