The Sydney Harbour Bridge. We were here to get on a ferry cruise of the harbour that would take us around the Opera House and all the surrounding areas.
Did you know you can actually walk ON and OVER the archway of the bridge?? You can buy tickets and climb to the very top of it...I didn't get to do it that day :(
From the ferry, I think this area is King's Cross...?
