WALKABOUTSVERSE 4 OF 230

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.
