One of my fondest memories of Sydney was my first ever morning here. I was suddenly alone as my friend had missed his flight and would catch up the next day. Checked into the hotel and after a shower and some news I was ready to get my first taste of one of my favorite ever cities.
Well I walked the two or so blocks to Circular Quay and started to be amazed. The bridge and the Opera house. The hussle and bussle. The fact it was late fall and sunny and 75. After a little walk about and a few pics I sat on a bench and watched the world. Ok. I had a book infront of me but I was really world watching. So calm. Yet so busy. This saturday morning started a love affair for me with Sydney. Leave a Comment

Snaking their way around the harbour, the ferry routes slip into coves and visit headlands with real estate perched atop that I could only dream about affording. The ferries are like a spider's web fanning out from Circular Quay, mainly heading for the North Shore but dipping into many other wharves as well.
Picture a 20 degree day, soft rippling water, a zephyr of a breeze and you're cruising on a cheap ferry ride on one of the world's great harbours. If you're thinking life doesn't get much better, you're right.
If you spend a minimum one day in Sydney, this is one of your "must-do"s.
Shown here is the ferry about to dock at Cremorne Point with Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background, another of Sydney's famous arteries, while in pic 2 you can see where the ferries berth at Watsons Bay and in pic 3 there's the back of a ferry at Circular Quay. Leave a Comment

 Yours to enjoy with hardly
anyone around by iandsmith
This delightful location at Cremorne Point has a sublime waterside park. On the sunny day we were there, apart from us, there were a grand total of..............wait for it.................two people. That's the real joy for me of the harbour. There are so many places with fabulous views that people hardly ever visit.
The view is across Neutral Bay looking to the CBD at left of centre and there's a bridge peeping out there somewhere. You might have seen it somewhere before. It's called the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Leave a Comment

 A harbour view. by unravelau
Sydney is visibly multicultural so no matter where you come from you are likely to feel at home immediately. It also (like any other city) has its own character and appeal too mostly stemming from the harbour, water activities and the entertainment available in such a relatively small space.
My daughter presently is living in Sydney and so this is what I miss most. Then I guess just the feel of the place.............. as I said before I find it difficult to explain, but when I am there, I know that Sydney is where I come from. Leave a Comment

 Boats in the harbour by martin_nlLeave a Comment

Sail the Bounty. A trip on the Bounty offers more then just sightseeing. It's a journey trough time. You'll experience the age-old romance and fun of Tall Ship sailing, yet with the very best of contemporary dining and refreshments, all freshly prepared on board, while a friendly crew sail you around the spectacular harbour! If Captain Bligh (see the Rocks) were to set foot on today's Bounty, he will find out nothing changed. The Bounty is a faithful replica of the 18th century ship, especially build for the movie 'Mutiny on the Bounty' starring Mell Gibson and Anthony Hopkins. The original Bounty, scene of the now infamous mutiny near Tahiti in 1789, was burned at Pitcairn Island by Fletcher Christian, but the legend lives on!

Take a visit at Rushcutters Bay. Stretching between Elizabeth Bay and Darling Point, this is one of the best places to watch the yachts from as they sail for Hobart on Boxing Day. It was also one of the venues used for TropFest '97 and home for the Olympic Games Yachting (2000). Most of the time this charming bit of urban greenery is a haven for the nearby dwellers and visitors alike it also houses tennis courts, Reg Bartley Oval (with a grandstand that can seat up to 200 spectators), a well-equipped playground, and an old-style kiosk. There's also some unrestricted, free (and extremely rare) parking along Waratah Street.
See for more pics in the City Views travelogue please.

 Looking back to the Sydney
Harbour Bridge by iandsmith, 4 more photos
The small lighthouse pictured in the opening is on the north shore and you turn around it to go into Mossman Bay.
En route you will be guaranteed to see a sailboat somewhere off your bow (pic 3) and somewhere a house you can't afford (pic 4) or, if you want something to brighten up your day, there's always Luna Park. Leave a Comment
