The inspiration for this website came from Alan Waddell.
Rather than walk the same local streets every day, Alan decided in December 2002 to start walking every street in a suburb. As Alan walked, he looked for the unusual. Many of the photos on this website are of things easily missed by people who drive by in cars. There are over 6,400 unusual photos of Sydney on this website.
Before Alan passed away in 2008, aged 94, he had walked every street in 292 suburbs of Sydney, Australia.
John, Alan's son, continued his legacy and the family has now walked every street in 592 suburbs.
However, in 2022, health issues made it too difficult for John to continue the driving and then walking.
