HYDE PARK in Sydney, NSW, Australia


Hyde Park, Sydney (present time)




Hyde Park, Sydney 1842







I know there is  Hyde Park at Cook County in Chicago City, Illinois, USA too;  and the biggest one is in Central London,  but there is also one in Sydney (name after the one in England) only to discover in my second visit to this gigantic country (one continent by itself) on our way to Sky Tower to take a Sky Walk.  Looking beautifully green from atop the tower.

See how slim the tower looks like from its shadow down below the Hyde Park.

Don’t forget to add this large park and the tower in your itineraries next time you visit Australia and challenge your fear of height.

It's not to late to show love and respect to Mother Earth.

Merry Christmas to all !!!


My first ever December in Australia. Merry Christmas to all visitors!


Indeed Christmas is celebrated anywhere in the world, but never thought I would spend this season away from home right here in Sydney. I hope I could climb this tree and reach for the star above.
