Darling Harbour is a jewel. It’s a hub of avtyivities and a gateway to a huge number of destinations in the immediate vicinity. These range from a casino to a tranquil ‘chinese’ garden in which you’d swear you were a hundred miles from a city. There is the Powerhouse Museum, the Entertainment centre, hotels, private housing, open space for concerts and ‘events’, a childrens park, lake, paddle boats etc etc… the list goes on.
In addition of course it is still a working harbour, inasmuch as there is a working a marina there and a huge number of ferries transporting people in and out of this playground… and this of course is why we went there. š
We caught a catamaran ferry across the harbour to a small jetty underneath the bridge called Milson’s Point. From there we made our way up a rather steep hill, past the funfair known as Luna Park until we we are the start of ‘the walk.
As we walk up the hill we pass a load of people wearing green hats reading ‘Our Bridge 75″ etc. When we ask we learn they are handing them out at the start of the walk. We thought they’d make a souvenier… especially being free :)… so we go off to get some.
Unfortunately… they’d ‘all gone’ by the time we arrived.
