Great shots! Felt like I was at the parade.

Well done! One of the juiciest Sydney threads around.

Laugh now boys, you will be crying in September

I guess the Melbourne Storms are going to win again... they're playing as well as last year.

Speaking of rugby, went to a game the other day! And got to try out this 200mm 2.8 lens in sports.
Unfortunately though my team was crushed. Newcastle Knights won over the Balmain West Tigers by 42 to 10.

Potts Point is a cosmopolitan community just across the Royal Botanical Gardens from the CBD. Walking around you will hear British accents, American accents, and various European accents as often as you will hear Australian accents.
This is also one of the densest neighbourhoods in Australia.

And at night Potts Point feels like a different place. The strip along Darlinghurst Rd is known as Kings Cross, as is a popular night place.

Nice shots from around Sydney Morn, but it's going to be a long footy season for you. I am also in the same boat. Go the Dragons!!

[Urbanguy]

They have their anecdotal similarities but they are very different otherwise, both incredibly wonderful but in different ways.

Thanks for this thread. I really miss Sydney (and its weather)

Potts Point / King's Cross is one of my favorite parts of Sydney and the most "big city" neighborhood in a city that can feel quite small townish outside the CBD IMO.

Only once you leave the ring of the North Shore, Eastern Suburbs and Inner West.
