The winters aren&#8217;t harsh, and whatever the season, the skies are almost always clear blue with not a cloud to mar the blue canvas. The sun&#8217;s always shining down with its rays reflecting over the magnificent harbour and the many waterways around the city.<br \/>\nI never tire of looking at the Sydney Harbour. It&#8217;s one of the most beautiful sights with the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, yachts, sailboats and ferries all making up the scene. Whenever I go to school, I have to take the train into the city. The train has to cross the harbour bridge every time, and I will always stop what I&#8217;m doing (usually I&#8217;m reading a book) to look at the harbour. Its beauty never fails to marvel me.<br \/>\nThe undulating hills about the city also serves to give the city a touch of character. There are so many lookout points in the city because of this.<br \/>\nSydney by night is just as gorgeous. I think it&#8217;s because Australia is nearer the poles, hence so many stars can be seen here! It&#8217;s as if Mother Nature had strewn a bagful of diamonds across the sky. I am always amazed and in awe of such works of nature.  I will have to spend a night just stargazing before I leave. But I will leave that stargazing night till spring\/summer comes by.<br \/>\nSydneysiders have it real good. There are gorgeous beaches, and in every other corner there is a lovely pocket of greenery in which one can retreat to for some solitude.<br \/>\nFor me, Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and I really love this city. I am glad I have the chance to live here albeit only for a short while. I know I will miss the city when it&#8217;s time to leave. Until that time comes, I will just enjoy my stay here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the best things about Sydney is the weather.
