2. What would I miss? Sydney's history ...










Corner of Cambridge St and Argyle St, from the overhead bridge on Cumberland St.









In my first riff upom our upcoming theme, I posited that I would miss the harbour, and its beaches, the sun and the sand. Steffe Jansson shot back that I could simply move to another seaside city ... mmm ... he is right, y'know.



There must be something else I would miss should I move away from Sydney.



How about the history of places like The Rocks? It sounds a bit over the top to miss history in a city that was only established in 1788. But there are not many world-class cities which were established as a penal colony.
