Vivid Festival in Sydney

This month, Sydney is lit up for the VIVID FESTIVAL. Last night the MATH and I met some friends at St Mary's Cathedral for the start of the light show and made our way down to the Rocks for dinner.

Vivid is a light show with a difference. Buildings are lit up with the story of Governor Lachlan Macquarie who was the 5th governor of NSW from 1810-1821.

He and his wife, Elizabeth, left a wonderful legacy of buildings through public works and social reforms for convicts. The walk down Macquarie street is spectacular.

These wonderful photographs are all taken by the MATH.




And you know what else was so wonderful, the number of families with children of all ages, rugged up and wandering happily through the city. 

The Opera House has a spectacular light show on it's sails every evening too. We had a brilliant view walking along the Cahill Expressway and a similarly breathtaking view from the Glenmore Hotel, where we had dinner.


Just to finish up, here are a few gratuitous photos of Sydney Harbour, lit up in it's usual 'light show', that you can see virtually any evening through the year.
