One of the nice things about holidaying in a place we have been to is the long walks we can spare around familiar neighbourhoods. We try to do that with new places but also tend to get slightly obsessed with the mandatory tourist sights. I know, I always start out trying to think I'd be all indie and un-touristy, but chicken out when I stop to pick up one of those tourist maps from the airport - you can't count yourself as having really been to Sydney if you don't have a shot with the Sydney Opera House in the background, right?
These photos were taken in and around stores along Oxford Street and King Street in Newtown. We walked into many surprises along our way: the Dr. Seuss Gallery, the Australian Photography Centre, so many bookstores, bookstores that weren't huge but seemed to know exactly what was on my reading list - it comes as no surprise then, that I ended up buying more books than dresses.
