The view of the Opera House from the Beulah Street disused ferry stop must be one of the most surprising views in Australia. Called the Beulah Street Reserve, it serves as a wide walkway to the ferry stop, accessed by a big stone staircase from the street down to the park level. I sat in a garden bed rather uncomfortably to draw this, but what a view!

We stayed in an affordable hotel near Brookfield Place Sydney. Here, we enjoyed glimpses of the harbour. I like it when I can do a sketch before breakfast — the ideal way to start another day in Sydney.
