| Formerly known as Centrepoint, this 250m tower has commanding views of the City and surrounds, right out over the harbour and heads. |
|
| Location of what is arguably Australia's most famous beach (although, certainly not it's most scenic). |
|
| The location for the famous Sydney Opera House - Benelong Point. |
|
| Perhaps the heart of Sydney, not geographically perhaps but emotionally? Where the first settlers are said to have landed, very close to the wonderful Opera House and Rocks ares and a modern day transport hub. |
|
| One of the Northern Beach suburbs. Right next to Long Reef, so have a look at those too. |
|
| A quiet little place on the shores of Pittwater on the Nothern Beaches. |
|
| Another point on the lower north shore with wonderful views of the harbour and city. |
|
| Strangely named point in Sydney's Royal Botanical Gardens.Apparantly Mrs Macquaire's Chair is carved from a rock ledge - a gift to Elizabeth Macquarie, wife of the former Governor, Lachlan Macquarie. |
|
| Blues Point has picture postcard views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. |
|
| Darling Harbour is a recently (well - as of around 1998ish) redeveloped stretch of the Sydney waterfront. A stones throw to the East of Sydney city, it's a pretty cool area of cafes, bars, restaurants and hotels. |
|
| Sydney beach suburb round the corner from Manly with great views of the harbour and out to the heads. |
|
| Could this be called, 'The Olympic Suburb'? Home of the stadium at least. |
|
| One of many picturesque bays on Sydney's lower north shore. |
|
| A small peninsular on the Northern Beaches between Collaroy and Dee Why that's surrounded by an aquatic reserve. There's a top dive site off the coast here accessable by boat only though - no shore diving here. |
|
| Luna Park has existed on this site on the harbour since 1938 (or something like that). It's a small funfare/conference location/etc. |
|
| One of Sydney's most desirable locations, Kirribilli sits directly opposite the the City. This suburb is the official home for the Australian Prime Minister. |
|
| A massive national park inland from the Northern Beaches. Loads of great bushwalking and cycling to be had. |
|
| This beach suburb's catchprase is 'Seven miles from Sydney, a million miles from your cares.'. Yup, that's about right. |
|
| Milsons Park in Kirribilli is close to North Sydney High Street. A very nice little place to relax on a sunny afternoon. |
|
| North head is... erm.. the North side of the entrance to this great harbour. There is a National Park here, some old Naval stuff and great views down the harbour to the city. |
|
| Taken from the various vessels I have been aboard on Sydney harbour. |
|
| Sights from the main harbour's most famous and imposing landmark, afectionaty known by the locals as 'the coathanger'. |
|
| Optus Tower is the prized home of the beloved (see my resume) Cable & Wireless Optus (CWO). |
|
| The QVB is basically a shopping mall, but presented in a rather nice old building with a bit of charm, and a lot less sterile than most. |
|
| Pictures from the High Street in North Sydney are mainly from my old pad, where I lived for my first couple of years in Sydney. |
|
| Pictures taken from my pad on the 15th floor of Port Jackson Tower - well, where I was living from April to December 2000. |
|
| The Royal Botanic Gardens - the description speaks for itself. |
|
| This is a great national park on the southern outskirts of Sydney. On the coast it enjoys clifftop bushwalks, and is also a top place to cycle. |
|
| Sights in and around central Sydney. |
|
| One of the oldest (if not the oldest) parts of Sydney. The Rocks is better than most such tourist areas with a good collection of pubs, shops, cafes, etc. Somewhat akin to London's Covent Garden? |
|
| The Spit. |
