Poem 4 of 230: PICTURING SYDNEY
A good place to start is Sydney Tower,
With its enthralling panoramic feast:
Olympic grounds - west; to north - the harbour;
And beautiful beaches - north- and south-east.
From what is quite a jumbled C.B.D.,
A nice walk is through Botanic Gardens
To the harbour, Opera House, then the Quay -
But, of other good options, there are tens.
