Start Walking
Having disembarked from the ferry, it's worth pausing a while near the wharf to take in the spectacular views of the harbour, opera house, harbour bridge and city
skyline from Cremorne Point.
If you were lucky enough to acquire some
coffee and cake from the stall, you can sit on the nearby seats or on
the grass overlooking the harbour to enjoy them while marvelling at the
view. |
| Across the harbour you'll see Fort Denison
- a small island fort
with a martello tower built in the 1840's to protect Sydney from attack by sea
- with a backdrop of city skyscrapers. |
 |
 |
Further to the right, the Sydney Opera
House ... |
| and Sydney Harbour Bridge, arching above the suburb of
Kirribilli. |
 |
 |
Although the view's at its magnificent best on a sunny day, even cloudy
or stormy looking days have their charm. |
|
You may also be treated to a display of yachts sailing
gracefully up the harbour - sometimes just a few, other times it
seems like hundreds.
|
 |
 |
Keep an eye out too for the "Bounty" - a replica of an 18th
century tall ship that sails in the harbour every day (see links
page if you're interested in taking a cruise on it). |
|
When you can tear yourself away from the
lovely view, climb the stairs up the small cliff across the road from
the wharf to get to the walking path. If your mobility is limited, you can
avoid the stairs by heading left along the footpath from the wharf
instead of right.
|
| Just around the first
bend in the road, cross to the right hand side of the road and go up
the laneway or pathway that leads up in front of the houses on top
of the cliff. This path doubles back to where the steps from
the wharf emerge on top of the cliff. |
