Answer to edition 550
Last week’s “Where in the World…” featured two of the world’s most easily recognisable and iconic structures in one frame making this a much easier city to identify than last week’s challenge. These are the Opera House and Harbour Bridge of the Australian city of Sydney.
For more information on the New South Wales city see the new section below which gives a brief overview of Sydney.

In addition to just providing the answer to each week’s challenge, I will add further value with a few paragraphs about the city from the previous week’s “Where in the World…”
Do let me know what you think about this additional section.
