Wonderful Photographs of Sydney Fifty Years Ago

Sydney is rather like an arrogant lover. When it rains it can deny you its love and you can find it hard to relate to. It's not a place that's built to be rainy or cold. But when the sun comes out, it bats its eyelids, it's glamorous, beautiful, attractive and smart." - Baz Luhrmann

Kings Cross, May 1970
