A couple of weeks ago we went for a very pleasant visit to the wonderful Chinese Garden of Friendship in Sydney’s Darling Harbour area. Having been there many times before, there were no real surprises, but it is looking particularly beautiful at the moment.

Not much else to say about it really, but I did take a bunch of photos…

Surrounded by fish too big to eat, this bird (is it a cormorant?) remained perched on this rock for the entirety of our visit.

One of the few inspirational ideas from the gardens that might actually fit in our own garden.

Hard to believe that this relatively small space is surrounded by the hustle and bustle of central Sydney.
