The first days in Sydney continued with a visit to Marrickville - I've set up a separate gallery for that side of Sydney.
Out into the suburbs to Sydenham station - handy for where I was really heading - Marrickville
Took a detour here!

A short walk down the road - named after the 80s Labour Prime Minister Bob Hawke who died in 2019. There's a brewery on the premises. Oh yes, Bob Hawke co-founded the brewery.
Whay aren't bowling clubs in the UK this cool?
I am not sure I understand this sign, but it is adjacent to the bowls club
Lawn bowling is officially cool! Or certainly a cool place to hang out on a Sunday afternoon.

There are eight breweries in Marrickville - this is the third on Sydenham Road.
I did not have party business to moved on!
Walking down the residential part of Illawarra Road
Not sure if this qualifies as an "ute" but itstill shouts of being Australian
Marrickville Road - note the greek flags
Spotted this 'car'...
...From the smile I think it, spotted me too! It's the only right hand drive vehicle that I noticed in Australia but I'm not sure that makes it street legal!
I went on to discover that the Chemist Warehouse is ubiquitous in Sydney
Illawarra Road greengrocers and a glimpe of Jacaranda
On Illawarra Road
There's a lot going on overhead here!
Minor evidence of a Greek connection...
