The Strand Arcade is a historic shopping arcade, built in 1891 in the Victorian architectural style, that runs between George Street and Pitt Street. This contemporary Christmas Tree (above) complete with a red bench at its base rises up to the third level and was the centrepiece of their Christmas decorations this year. The balconies and sky bridges were adorned in fairy lights (below) and the large wreath and star were hung above the George Street entrance.

I like that. Haven't been down there this year. Waiting till the chaos of the sales fades a bit.
ReplyDeleteI had more trouble with busses at Town Hall, than people. Had to wait through half a dozen light cycles to get then all without busses.
Ann, you were very patient. I posted my Sydney Town Hall shots today.
ReplyDeleteI was there for a bit 2 weeks ago - very busy time and gosh, the decorations are really bright!
ReplyDeleteSo surreal, it looks almost like a dollhouse. And a very decorish one :)
