I’ll let you into a little secret- I’m a sucker for a dome. And great big, white 9 sided buildings plonked down in the middle of Australian suburban bushland.
I also have a strange fascination with photographing really cool looking places of worship- even though it’s not something that I actively do myself, worship, that is…although I have been known to do the lighting incense thing in temples in Hong Kong.
So when Baha’i Temple was randomly drawn from of my Sydney Staycation bucket, I figured I wouldn’t be disappointed.
Sydneys’ Baha’i Temple is one of just 7 such temples in the world. The 9 sides apparently signify the unity of the worlds religions. I like that.
Anyways, the details:
The temple is open to the public each day, and is located in bushland in Ingleside- above the Northern Beaches. Just head up Mona Vale Rd towards the beaches and you can’t miss it.
There’s no takeaway or anything out there, but plenty of room for a picnic in the bush. And, at this time of the year, the bush is gorgeous- the wattle is in full bloom.
And Anyways...
