Best of both worlds

I've been seeing the best of Sydney over the last few days. On Friday I walked from Manley to The Spit. I'm still trying to comprehend the fact that running through the heart of this big city is such an exquisite coastline and beaches.






Then on Saturday I went to the Sydney Festival First Day. Five stages were set up in the CBD and the roads were closed off. It was a stinking hot day - everyone was walking around in a shared sweaty experience. This is Chifley Square going off later that night:
