Thursday Edition
Sydney. WOW. Shangri-La hotel. 24th floor. Stunning view of Harbour Bridge and Opera House. WOW. Walk. Botanic Gardens etc. WOW. (One of my "world's best.") Spring in full bloom. Flowering Jacarandas ... see 'em to believe 'em. WOW.
Before blogging became all the rage, Tom was posting book reviews and Observations (essentially early blog posts) to this site. You can find the archives below.

Glad you liked Sydney!
You stayed in a great spot and I know the view you are talking about....
On a road trip, I like to be able to at least find one thing other than the "event" to remember the city by, otherwise it ends up being airport/hotel/venue/hotel/airport!
Enjoy the rest of your trip!

What a beautiful picture, Tom. The environment must be really inspiring.

Vermont in the autumn will rival anything out there Tom. When we were growing up, we used to hike to the top of Mt. Bromley (sp?) every fall season.

Hi Tom,
Sydney is a spectacular, high-energy city - but what about the flies!
