Sydney Photo Friday: St. Andrew’s Cathedral

Churches don’t come much more spectacular that St. Andrews Cathedral. This Anglican church, located in the heart of Sydney, is a superb example of Gothic architecture. I’m not religious at all, but I like to believe that if God does exist he’d like to hang out in a place like this.

When spending two days at the Good Food and Wine Show, you don’t want to think about getting yourself home. It’s imperative that you find somewhere within shambling distance, so that when you’ve over-indulged in the wine tasting it doesn’t really matter. For us, that place was the Oaks Goldsborough Apartments, situated just behind the […]

Cool Food at Ice Cube

What do you do after a long day at the Good Food and Wine Show? Why, you go and eat!
Yes, my husband I probably didn’t need dinner on Saturday night, but the lure of Darling Harbour’s buzzing eateries proved to strong to resist. We opted for the Ice Cube Seafood Grill, deciding it was the […]

My legs are aching when I walk, and I’m utterly exhausted, but that’s what I get for spending the last two days in Sydney at the Good Food and Wine Show.
