Beaches & harbors by ferry and bus by BeverlyTyler
We took a short ferry ride from Sydney to Watson's Bay, ate lunch in one of the local seafood restaurants and climbed the hill to overlook the town and harbor on the harbor side and the sheer steep rock cliffs on the Pacific Ocean side. We walked along the spectacular cliffs to the next bus stop where we caught the Bondi Explorer Bus to Bondi Beach. We spent the afternoon there and then took the bus back to Sydney past some more spectacular beaches, secluded coves and interesting villages.PHOTO: THE BLUE MOUNTAINS NEAR WENTWORTH FALLS.
