Wild Reputation - a photo on Flickriver

Wild Reputation

Late this afternoon in Sydney.
Tuesday, 5th March, 2024.

Photographed from Woolcott Street, Waverton.
Half an hour before sunset.

SO today my 6.30pm work appointment at Bella Vista was cancelled. Perfect. It was a clear and sunny afternoon. So I drove to the harbourside via the M7, M2 and the mega expensive Lane Cove Tunnel. I decided on Waverton for my sunset photographs, and parked on Woolcott Street for this image, before shifting to the Berrys Bay Lookout on Larkin Street.

And that's where I ran into a group of English backpackers from Newcastle (in England). All women in their early to mid 20s. I sometimes meet the most amazing people on my photo excursions. And it's always so unexpected.

And, oh, for the backpacking girls from Newcastle who all love AC DC (as I do, of-course) here is 'Wild Reputation' by AC DC.
So play it LOUD:

Anyway, we got talking about Sydney and they declared that our city had "a wild reputation". I was a tad bemused by that because I think Sydney is, on the whole, rather tame!!

But anyway, the girls mentioned that Newcastle has a bridge, the Tyne Bridge, that is exactly like the Sydney Harbour Bridge! Now how could that be? But check this:

And wait, there's more - the Tyne bridge was actually constructed four years before our bridge. Really? You learn something new every day. And both bridges were designed by London firm 'Mott, Hay and Anderson'. Wow!!

So after taking sunset pictures of the harbour from the Berrys Bay Lookout we went to the nearby Commodore Hotel, on Blues Point Road, for some drinks and pizza. And I will now definitely have to visit Newcastle, somewhere over in England, because I think that's where the real "wild reputation" exists. Let's go....
