Observatory Hill Lookout — Attraction in Sydney

I wasn't sure what to expect from Observatory Hill Lookout, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a bit of a climb to get up there, especially on a hot day like today, but the views are definitely worth it. You get a panoramic vista of the harbor, the bridge, and the Opera House, all framed by the lush green of the park. It's a stunning sight, and I spent ages just soaking it in.

Even if the weather’s overcast - after being here for 15 minutes they WILL understand why “Sydney matters” to those of us it does...
