I’m making a list of good locations to make photos at. I walk around a lot, see them all the time…record them now, while it’s fresh!
-just near kirribill wharf, is a little side bit. In the wet-it’s a waterfall. Gets great afternoon sunlight. Very lush. beachy to if you take in the harbour.
-chinamans beach. we’ve all seen how bill’s/michael’s photos turned out…
-newtown church (see wedding photos w lara)
-botanic gardens-everyone knows that one!
-St mary’s cathedral
-st thomas rest park (ie cemetary) cammeray. remote, headstones, old worldy
-gore hill cemetary. wild and tropical. strangely deserted.
-primrose park (just near my place)
-hunters hill-there a park along a bus route(never been) that has loads of mangroves
-Rhodes /Olympic park: bike ride through mangroves.
-balmoral
-the local golf course
have anything to add? reply below!

Can I piggy back onto this with a location hunt of my own? I keep hearing whispers of an official directory of rent-by-the-day locations in Australia that I can’t seem to locate or even find the name of. Apparently it’s mostly insanely expensive but I still want to find it!

Circular Quay
Darling Harbour
Observatory Hill
Pyrmont (where I work)
I personally love riding the ferries, by a all day ticket and just ride them all over, get of at any stop and go for a wander, then come back for the next one.

My next door neighbours letterbox, the corner Greek cafe, the top of the tree in the park down the road, A graffitid wall in Newtown. I think the above locations are good yet I am more inspired by other random and unique places. Not trying to be smart just adding a different perspective. This is a great idea Sam .)

ah yes. I’m thinking as a follow on to wedding and mysterious moody places: both commercial and unique. (no smart arseness detected)

Newtown (churchst) old church and graveyard – huge bamboo and old head stones, after noon sun shines directly through the yard and trees! :)
Life amongst the dead!

The bank of weeds & rubbish that separate the two parts of Jedda Rd, Lurnea/Prestons – particularly after an interstate driver hasn’t known that the road isn’t continuous….
Probably more my school of inspiration than yours, though….

shall check it out…never heard of prestons..gathering it’s a good excuse to get out of the house. It’s such nice weather, I have things to do, but just don’t know what to do with myself!
