30 Days in Sydney
30 Days in Sydney: A Wildly Distorted Account | Peter Carey
4 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
After living abroad for years, novelist Peter Carey returns home to Sydney and attempts to capture its character with the help of his old friends, drawing the reader into a wild and wonderful journey of discovery and rediscovery as bracing as the southerly buster that sometimes batters Sydney's shores. Famous sights such as Bondi Beach, the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and the Blue Mountains all take on a strange new intensity when exposed to the penetrating gaze of the author and his friends.

#SizzlinSummerBooks#day13 #Backyard The beautiful Blue Mountains of NSW are the backyard of the Sydney Basin. My favourite place in the whole world, especially in winter when the pea soup fog & mountain mists hang around till noon, the smell of woodsmoke hangs in the air & on unforgettable winter days, it snows.The bushwalking trails are phenomenal, the lookouts are gorgeous(I took this photo from Govetts Leap) & the open gardens are so beautiful.
