On Tuesday 28th of April I travelled up to Drummoyne, Sydney to work on the website of a friend. 

I caught the train from Wollongong and enjoyed the view as always, especially around Clifton

 

 

I also took some portraits for the Bio section of her site. We took this at dusk outside her apartment building.

Unfortunately the light was dying so I had to use my external flash. 

We agreed that it would be best to try again in the morning. This was the view from her balcony. Just stunning!

 

After a while we started getting some soft portraits which I love

 

 

 

Afterwards Yuliya and I caught a bus into Sydney, parting at Haymarket. 

Mamak was on my mind. An amazing restaurant specialising in Malaysian cuisine in Goulburn St, Haymarket. 

I was warned by Food Blogger Helen from Grab Your Fork to get in early. I took a few photos of the restaurant and this one shows the frenzied activity on the day. People were hungry for delicious, buttery roti and delicious satay and curry dishes.

After all that lovely food we headed to the Chinese Gardens of Friendship in Darling Harbour

Where I later met Alyssa who kindly posed for me

 

After a meeting with a colleague I caught the train home to Wollongong and a bus to Lake Illawarra. 

Such a nice visit to Sydney, new friends and lots of fond memories.
