Most days my work keeps me tied to my desk or closeted in meetings, particularly at this time of year.
Today, was a bit different.
I was out on a site visit to look at a venue for the Australian Tourism Awards.
Luna Park is a popular Sydney attraction located on Sydney harbour. It originally opened in 1935 but closed in 1979 after a fatal fire in the Ghost Train. It didn't really open again successfully until 2004.
It is now a leisure and corporate playground, combining amusement rides and venues for functions and events.
Although I have good memories visiting in my teens, an icecream followed by a ride on the Rotor was something I wish to forget. So was coming down in our cage upside down from the top of the ferris wheel.
Original features - including the iconic smiling face at the entrance- remain, and looked great today.
The sun was shining and the sky a bright Sydney blue. Summer is here - at least for the moment.
I can't believe the clarity of my photo, looking back under the Harbour Bridge to the city and the Opera House. And no that is not a white apartment block on the right - it is a cruise ship.
Don't you think when Sydney smiles, it really smiles?
