Doors By Sydney Harbour – Thursday Doors.

After all these years I’ve been involved with Thursday Doors, I’ve seen it all…the best of doors, the worst of doors, paintings on doors, and functional doors. Yet, I keep scouring the world for new additions… something intriguing, which will blow your socks off, or will at least interest me.

After a doctor’s appointment in Sydney on Tuesday, we drove down to our favourite little spot by the harbour in Kirribilli. While that all sounds our own little patch under the sun and a great personal discovery, it’s officially known as the “Broughton Street Lookout” and the views are breathtaking. The Sydney Harbour Bridge towers over you like Big Brother and even though I’ve been there fairly often, the magic has never faded. I’m absolutely dazzled like a love-sick puppy. You’re also a stone’s throw away from the equally magnificent Sydney Opera House, although you’d need a better throw than mine!

The famous entry to Luna Park. Does this count as a door?

While these two incredible architectural icons would be much more worthy for an extensive doorscursion, we’re not going there. Rather, we’re on the lookout for a toilet and this journey will take us off to Luna Park, which was unfortunately close, past the ferry wharf which has no toilets, and also past North Sydney Olympic Pool which is currently a construction site as we head up the hill to Fitzroy Street to finally find relief.

Some great door reflections at Luna Park.

Doors to the North Sydney Olympic Pool construction site. Love the ubiquitous bike parked there.

After sharing some great street art painted on utility boxes last week, these hydrant doors are begging for a makeover.

This was followed up with lunch at Stir Crazy Thai, popping to Bridge Church where I usually go online and buying olive focaccia bread from San Antonio Sourdough Bakery.

What a great afternoon.

Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed our doorscursion around Sydney’s Milson’s Point. This has been another contribution to Thursday Doors hosted by Dan Antion at No Facilities.

Best wishes,
