After a long lockdown it was great to be able to get out of Sydney and go to a large event.
This was also the last time the F/A-18 Classic Hornet was on display in Australia.

Supercars at Sydney Motorsport Park 2017
In 2019 the Supercars series will not be competing at Sydney Motorsport Park Eastern Creek Raceway.
This is disappointing because for fans attending the track as it is one of the few venues with excellent viewing opportunities right around the track.
Below is a small selection from my last visit to the venue in 2017 and a clip from the race start that year as well.

For a second time I headed to the Formula One in Melbourne. This year I headed down just for the Saturday Free Practice and Qualifying sessions.
Overall the day was excellent. Being able to see the new cars and the sheer speed of them through the corners compared to the touring and GT cars.
A great addition to this year’s event was the fan forum stage which had some great driver interviews. I learnt that Kimi Räikkönen can smile and even tell funny jokes.
Below are a few photos and video from the day.

Photos: Muscle Car Masters 2016
At the end of October I went to the annual Muscle Car Masters at Sydney Motorsport Park.
This was the first time I had attended the MCM and it was a great day out. Watching the old cars from well before my time and from my childhood was a great change from the modern Supercars that I usually watch.
Below is a small selection of photos covering the various categories and eras racing during the event.

I went down late in the afternoon of the first weekend, luckily before huge swells destroyed many of the sculptures.

I was extremely fortunate to spend this New Year’s Eve on a friend’s parent’s yacht anchored in Farm Cove. This is about as close to the fireworks as you can get and my first time viewing the New Years fireworks from a boat.
The first few hours were spent waiting for the 9pm Family Fireworks and as usual they didn’t disappoint but were merely a teaser of what was to come at midnight.

In late August I went to the Friday practice sessions of the 2016 round of the Supercars at Sydney Motorsport Park. The support classes for this event were top notch. In particular the Carrera Cup Asia and the Toyota 86 categories were great to watch.

A few months ago I took my camera on a walk from Surry Hills down to the harbour during Vivid Sydney. Below are some of the sights that I saw, and not all of them are Vivid Sydney related, Sydney is a beautiful city that glitters under lights.
Photos: Wings Over Illawarra
In late April I went to the Wings over Illawarra air show on NSW’s South Coast.
Despite a little bit of rain the day was fantastic with many old and current war planes on display both statically and in flight.
Below are some of the photos and a video I took on the day.

Over the past two months I’ve spent a few weekends checking out the 20th Biennale of Sydney. I haven’t been to all the locations where the Biennale is held this year, but I have seen the exhibits at Cockatoo Island, the MCA and the NSW Art Gallery.
Many of this year’s exhibits are audio/visual in nature but the few photos below capture at least some of the amazing art that’s there to be experienced.
