If you travel to Sydney, there is no avoiding this incredible piece of modern architecture (and why would you want to???). She is a beauty, in all of her ways, shapes and forms. During my visit, I was fortunate enough to go on a one hour backstage tour in order to learn about her creation and how she works now. She is beautiful — inside and out — and I could have stared at this icon forever. My eyes would never have grown tired of her beauty.
