I loved Vivid Sydney just as much this year as previous years.

What an extravaganza, not only the large moving lighting installations on the Opera House, MCA and Town Hall, but also the quirky small pieces dotted around the Rocks and Botanic Gardens.

Even the ferries are lit up (which, by the way, is the best way to get there).

There's also a great little street food market, plus numerous eaten/watering holes for a pit stop.
