Sydney Harbor, also referred to as Port Jackson, contains 240 Kilometers(149 Miles) of shoreline and 54 square Kilometers(33 miles) of water. It is the site of the original Australian settlement, Sydney, now the largest city in Australia and my place of residence for the next few months.

There is no better way to introduce you to the city of Sydney than by starting with the harbor in which it sprawls from. Many ferries run out of the city from Circular Quay to various points throughout the harbor.
The Manly Ferry is the most famous of all the Sydney ferries. This 30 minutes ride takes you across the middle of the harbor right past fort Denison, the heads of the harbor (where the ocean water enters), and the iconic Sydney Opera House.

On a nice sunny day, I took the Blue Fish Track trail with my German friend Katja. There was some great views of the beach and the ocean, but lots of spiders!!
Definitely the best time to take the Manly Ferry back to Circular Quay is at night. It's great coming into the neon lit city from the harbor.

Great Charles, the harbor view is pretty well, you shared a nice experience. I can feel the essence of your trip, The sceneries are really awesome, especially in the night, The iconic places like Opera house, and historical Fort Denison are good. I feel the channel crossings are really good at night.
ReplyDeleteNice pics buddy... Hope you enjoyed the trip...I like the Opera house, especially in the night... The 30 minutes ride across the middle of the harbor by ferry is awesome...
