Vacations & Cruises

The Sydney Harbour area.

This is the famous harbour bridge that people talk about. Well at least they talk about it if they know about it. It spans quite a distance and is always packed. If you want to drive across this short little bridge it costs you $4.00. That's because there aren't any other bridges that cross the harbour nearby. Of course, they do offer an alternate plan. You can drive under the harbour in the harbour tunnel. It costs $4.00 as well. People jump from this bridge in an effort to kill themselves. This costs $4.00 as well.

This is the very famous Sydney Opera House. And what a magnificent picture I took of it too (patting myself on the back as you read this). It should be a postcard. Sidenote: If there are any postcard manufacturers looking on, keep this fine shot in mind.

These are just two of the sights to be seen in the harbour, which is absolutely massive. There are always tons of sailboats in the harbour, ranging from little catamarans and lots of Lasers, to huge yachts and a full size replica of the Bounty.

The harbour is very beautiful at nite. Here is a nice picture of it. Again, postcard manufacturers keep this one in mind (I know, its not that great!)

Here is an old riverboat paddle-wheel type steamer.


Here is a view of the harbour from the air. Busy place folks!
