Sydney Opera House


Postmark illegible, dated 1984.
Sydney Opera House, New South Wales, Australia.
The peaceful sails of Sydney Opera House soar above Bennelong Point.
I can remember the fuss when the Opera House was built - an awful lot of people didn't like it. Now it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

  1. I luv the Sdyney Opera House. Visited the opera house in 1996.

  2. I did the tour when I was there.

    I loved Sydney altogether. Was lucky enough to go on business and then take some leave. Would just have been nicer to have someone to share it with.

  4. I have been there many times... (since I am an Aussie expat)... it is a gorgeous place to visit. Last time I was back home in Australia, my husband and I were down there at 5.30am... it was so relaxing and peaceful...

  5. Just visited Sydney for the first time in June. The Opera House is a very stunning building! The week I was there, The Museum of Contemporary Art was projecting images of artwork onto it at night.

    The Sydney Museum is a great place to see historical photos of the Opera House and the city in general.

  6. What a wonderful idea, to project artwork into the night! That must have been a stunning sight.
