The irresistible aroma that emanates from the pizza shop on the corner of George & Paterson Streets in the early evening (though I’ve never eaten there)
The Winter fog
The people who maintain the beautiful parks (often very early in the morning, so you never see) and always look like they enjoy their jobs
The bustle of the outdoor mall on any given day
The facades, oh, the facades
The monkeys in City Park, especially the baby ones (and the fact that there are always people there watching them)
Looking up at the houses in Trevallyn on the hill from the Seaport walk
The clocktower’s reliable, comforting chimes
The characters (stressed walking man, Robert the Westbury Road walker, the girl with the plaits, hoodie girl, etc.)
Saturday mornings at the Harvest Market
All of the food vans (but especially Wanderlust, Burger Junkie, Eats with Beats)
The abundance of fruit hanging over fences for passersby to grab
The change of seasons, which are impossible not to notice (esp. autumns glowing trees)
The cherry blossoms in City Park in Spring
The arcades and alleyways filled with happy little shops
Seeing black swans and people rowing in the river while walking along the levee
The attention seeking seal at Tailrace
The passengers on the ferry that wave to people walking to the Cataract Gorge
Cheeky peacocks and tame wallabies at the Gorge (also, the scones with jam and cream)
Teenagers jumping off the rocks into the First Basin
The view from the top of Upper York Street (though the walk up is a killer)
The map paintings in the Town Hall building
The old Kodak sign above the Shaver Shop
The cobblestones along the curbs
The water lilies in Princes Square fountain
The bike maintenance station at the Architecture School
The tram conductors that give slightly too long, friendly waves
People watching at Morty’s Food Hall
The Launceston Cycling Classic
The buskers in the mall, always of an exceptional quality
