These sunset colours over the inner west suburbs of Annandale and Leichhardt are viewed between the cables of the Anzac Bridge. The bridge was known as the Glebe Island Bridge when it opened in 1995. It was renamed the Anzac Bridge on Remembrance Day, 11th November 1998, to honour the servicemen and women who served in two world wars. The name is derived from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC).
This sunset view from the Anzac Bridge over the inner west suburbs of Annandale and Leichhardt is also reflected off Rozelle Bay. This photo was taken a bit further along the bridge from yesterday's sunset shot and a little bit later on when the colours were more vivid.
There's nothing like truth in advertising or in this case the motto of a furniture shop: Butt Ugly Blokes Building Handsome Furniture For Beautiful People. The furniture shop is called 'Three of a Kind Store' and is located on Parramatta Road, in the inner west suburb of Leichhardt. This is the back laneway delivery entrance to the shop and the sign is on the side street, which can be seen from the man road. I took this photo a while ago but didn't find a good reason to post it, until this theme day gave me a perfect excuse.
The Italian Forum is in the inner-west suburb of Leichhardt, which features a large Italian community. This plaza emulates the style of an Italian village, with the courtyard as the town piazza providing outdoor dining for the restaurants and cafes (above). The entrance to the Italian Forum (left) is on Norton Street, which is known as Sydney's Little Italy. The Leichhardt Public Library (below) is also located here, along with a number of shops and boutiques on the upper levels, overlooked by residential apartments.
Harmony Day, which is celebrated on 21st March each year, celebrates cultural diversity and the cohesive and inclusive nature of Australia. To commemorate this, over the next week I'm going to share some photos of culturally diverse places and buildings in Sydney. Italians migrated to Australia in large numbers after World War 2 and many originally settled in the inner west suburbs of Sydney such as Leichhardt.
