    The split levels at the front of the house, facing the harbour; the purple foyer is often used for press conferences and receptions. The tour guides like to tell the story of how Pavarotti refused to enter the room as purple was (or is) an unlucky colour, and thus his reception had to be held elsewhere...: by flyted, Views[454]
         		 More alone time with me & Sydney.: by flyted, Views[611]
         		 The view you never get tired of.: by flyted, Views[670]
         		 Close-up on the Southern Cross.: by flyted, Views[549]
         		 And how it looks on the Australian flag.: by flyted, Views[1509]
     
    On this night it was just me and the Opera House, I had the entire courtyard to myself. Definitely one of those moments...: by flyted, Views[688]
         		 And then a cruise ship arrived, straight from who-knows-where, full of revellers waiting for this moment, when they sail past the Sydney Opera House. The house and I waved back as they took their pictures.: by flyted, Views[556]
         		 10 o'clock at night, my last night in Sydney. I decided to check out the Opera House one last time. It was stunning, of course. I took this picture, it was a clear starry night, and realised later that I had just fit the Southern Cross into the frame at the top. Ultra-iconic.: by flyted, Views[428]
         		 Manly beach, just as nice as Bondi.: by flyted, Views[404]
         		 Sydney Heads, the entrance to the harbour. I was out at the point on the right the day before.: by flyted, Views[361]
     
    Another Manly ferry going the opposite way.: by flyted, Views[387]
         		 Macquarie Point at the edge of the Domain & Royal Botanic Gardens.: by flyted, Views[393]
         		 Here comes the view again.: by flyted, Views[454]
         		 All aboard.: by flyted, Views[402]
         		 Looking back at Circular Quay, ferry-central in Sydney.: by flyted, Views[447]
     
    Get a load of these names. Sandy Beach - that's a good one.: by flyted, Views[397]
         		 We were allowed no cameras on the Bridge Climb, so you could purchase photos taken by the guiAnother beautiful evening in Sydney.de, or they gave you this free one. So I took a picture of the picture. This looks photoshopped or green-screened, but it's real! We are right at the apex of the arch, underneath the flags.: by flyted, Views[614]
         		 Another beautiful evening in Sydney.: by flyted, Views[645]
         		 One of those moments, maybe a prize-winning photo? This was from a ferry on the way back in to the city from Camp Cove.: by flyted, Views[429]
         		 Fort Denison up close, the Alcatraz of Sydney; convict prisoners were held here for extreme punishment, often chained to the walls in the hot sun for hours..: by flyted, Views[1946]
     
    Admiralty House, the Governor General's official residence in Sydney, directly opposite the Opera House. Kirribilii House, the Prime Minister's official residence in Sydney, is further back in the trees, the grey part just sticking out near the right.: by flyted, Views[1475]
         		 There's a familiar site, with the Sydney Tower in behind.: by flyted, Views[645]
         		 The North Head, entrance to the harbour; Manly beach would be behind.: by flyted, Views[460]
         		 The cliffs in Sydney are an unfortunate magnet for suicides and so you often see signs like this when walking along the coast. The most recent Australia Local Hero of the Year in fact is a retired guy who lives nearby, who keeps his eye out for people on the edge and offers to bring them back to his house for a cup of tea and a chat.: by flyted, Views[493]
         		 The Gap, near the South Head, perhaps the most dramatic spot and also the most tragic. Lots of signs here.: by flyted, Views[1028]
     
    Looking south back past The Gap, Bondi would be just over the hill in the distance.: by flyted, Views[1109]
         		 Around the corner from South Head into the harbour, you come across Camp Cove, a nice swimming and snorkelling spot. This was where the First Fleet first landed in 1788 upon arrival in Sydney Harbour, but they didn't stay long and moved down to The Rocks soon afterwards, perhaps hours later... as a result, there is just a tiny plaque recognizing the fact. Nevertheless, this was technically the first landing.: by flyted, Views[631]
         		 Classic Bondi scene.: by flyted, Views[492]
         		 Heading out towards the Sydney Heads (harbour entrance), a random gap in the houses presents a view like this.: by flyted, Views[487]
         		 A lot of the coastline in Australia is like this.: by flyted, Views[457]
     
    Bondi and the iceberg pool at the left.: by flyted, Views[561]
         		 The Bondi Iceberg Club pool, they pour ice cubes in it in the winter and go swimming, or something.: by flyted, Views[857]
         		 Not a bad place to swim.: by flyted, Views[438]
         		 Surfers doing their thing just south of Bondi beach.: by flyted, Views[503]
         		 A collection of surfers, with Bronte Beach in the background.: by flyted, Views[435]
     
    First view of famous Bondi beach.: by flyted, Views[339]
         		 Sailboats in the Tasman.: by flyted, Views[404]
