During my recent travels in Australia, I noticed quite a bit of sandstone around Sydney. Therefore, I was not particularly surprised to also see quite a few sandstone building stones around the city. For example, the stones shown in the above picture, which shows part of a bridge in North Sydney.

By the way, I’m back home in South Africa now and won’t be travelling for a little while. So, I hope to have time to write up several posts on my recent Australian trip. Stay tuned!
