Sydney Opera House

http://toursatoz.blogspot.com/
It has to be one of the wonders of the modern world - a stunning piece of human craft dropped into the natural magnificence of Sydney's harbour. There really is little to compare - even Rio's Christ the Redeemer and New York's Statue of Liberty can quite match the grandeur of both the building and the backdrop.

 It thrusts into the waters of Sydney Harbour with the tall, gracious white curves like the sails of the flagship HMS Sirius leading the first colonists to the shore here in 1786. It symbolises both the foundation of Australia as a country, but also its continued progress - the bold nature of Australia's truly modern culture.
