The Sydney Harbour is magic! Each time we took the train to Circular Quay, we were greeted with an unequalled view. One morning, there was a giant cruise ship berthed! Always in motion, it was our favourite place. We also had occasion for a quiet harbourside beverage.
On the train one morning, we met a charming woman who remembered the harbour with no bridge. She recounted to us how she used to take a ferry across from the North Shore to connect to other transit in the city. (It's the 75th anniversary of the Bridge's construction.) Unfortunately, the only photo I have of her is in my memory...one of those times when I was so intent on the experience that I didn't think like a tourist, I guess!
It was amazing! I've seen it a bunch of times but it never fails to take my breath away. Silly really, but I can't help it. 
We climbed up to the top of the Southeastern pylon to see a beautiful view of the Harbour and then in the evening, we climbed the bridge itself. It was a clear day and then a starry night.
