Don’t worry, this isn’t another Sydney VS every other city piece. We acknowledge that every spot across the country has its own unique assets but right now Sydney’s are shining brighter than the rest.
Destination NSW flipped the on switch for more than 90 light installations last week for the annual Vivid Sydney festival.
As per usual, colourful art beamed off iconic attractions such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House every night, giving the city a luminous edge during the darker autumn/winter period.
This year, music and ideas accompany displays with 195 Vivid Music events planned along with 500 speakers appearing at Vivid Idea talks and forums.
According to New South Wales Premier Mike Baird, thousands of people are expected to visit the city to see the light spectacular, and after sifting through first images of the show we aren’t surprised.
Social media has lit up with some incredible snaps that showcase Sydney’s shiny assets in a whole new way.
