Every second year the Sydney Living Museums/HHT launch their Sydney Open Day. On this day buildings around the city open up their doors to show the general public some of their rooms. Aided with my printed map,2 friends any my reliable partner,  I penciled in my wish list.We then start to negotiate our day. Having done the Open before, I knew to limited my achievable list to a top 6 must see list. These included:

# 8 Chifley
# 9 Castlereagh
 Martin Place (including their rooftop)
Australia Square
Cove Apartments
Hong Kong Park
Grosvenor Place
Governor Phillip Tower (views!!)
NAB House
The Great Synagogue
The Royal Automobile Club of Australia

OK, 6 was a little hard!!

I have some great pictures to show over the next few days. In terms of view the Governor Phillip takes the prize. We were up on the upper levels with 360 degree views of the city with floor to ceiling windows. On this beautiful spring day the city looked amazing.

Architecturally, 50 Martin Place wins. The old building has been restored to include a glass atrium that shines light down the internal offices. Built at just the right height to allow natural light in yet low enough to avoid the wind tunnels. It was stunning.

This is an amazing day to learn more about the city and see the insides to some historic, as well as brand new buildings
