1970 in the 'big smoke'

Sydney's skyline is changing so fast that it probably has already altered since this picture was taken in June! BRUCE ADAMS took the picture for PIM from Kirribilli on the other side of the harbour from/ Circular Quay, and his telescopic lense makes the "Oriana" look as though she's heading straight up Pitt Street. Pages 97 and 98 of Adams' photos show you Sydney, 1970—its buildings and its 'birds'.

While new buildings are going up all the time, there's still plenty of support to preserve the best of old Sydney.

Opposite left, its Sydney from the air with the Opera House (left), the bridge and, of course, the city. The historic Rocks area appears under the city end of the bridge, and in the lower picture this page, some of the architecture of the Rocks. These homes, painted and restored, represent the new Paddington—"fashion able" Sydney in other words. At right, its the Opera House, still unfinished after 10 years, but a magnificent sight as you arrive at Circular Quay on the commuter ferry. It should be finished by 1972.

Opposite page is a Qantas picture.
