Lord Roberts Hotel


Unsure of who Lord Roberts was until I went to the hotel's website here. Sounds like a good bloke. This is a nice pub down in Little Italy, Stanley Street. I recommend the Chicken Parma washed down with a schooner of new.

Darlinghurst Courthouse



This is detail from a great old colonial building the NSW Supreme Court. Up along Oxford Street in Darlinghurst. The Darlinghurst Court House was built in 1835 and is still in operation today. Designed in the Greek revival architectural style like many of Sydney's important buildings.

Also back from holidays on the NSW North Coast just a few degrees warmer. It is always a dilemma about posting in advance - obviously bored the pants off any viewers with my Lions Club series. If I may divert from Sydney and post one of my North Coast pictures here is one of the many beaut sunsets.

Fire eating unicyclist juggler

Under the Cahill Expressway is a buskers spot. Here an English performer is using a young apprentice to drum up some business. It looks like she doesn't know what's in store.
