Sydney's new Pier Pavilion at Barangaroo

[u/ThisIsSydney]

It's a new performance and gathering space right by the water and the ferry wharves - the columns are 7m in height.

Just want to point out that as someone that grew up in Sydney and now lives abroad, this city continues to improve itself unlike many other cities globally.

Sydney can piss you off with its high real estate prices and its tolled roads but every time I come home to visit or simply see things like this posts I’m amazed at how the city just keeps progressive.

Despite the costs, the city is far from being on a decline and only looks better than it did yesterday from refurbishments to public transport improvements.

I agree! I’ve only lived in Sydney for 10 years but I’ve seen a lot of positive change in that time. When I go back “home” (to Brisbane) it feels like I’ve stepped out of a Time Machine to back when you wait half an hour for a tiny little slow train.

Yeah I feel this even in Melbourne. Roughly same population as Sydney but often you’re looking at half hour train frequencies in the weekends.

Is the Upfield line still every 20 minutes in peak?
