One section of boardwalk in the harbour, getting ready for an on-the-water concert the next nightDarling Harbour has really been turned into a playground, with the shores being lined with bars, restaurants, and nightclubs, and even a floating stage for live music on occasion! This series was taken at about 1:30 am on a Friday night after I finished work, and the place was still bustling with the activity of party goers. Fortunately only about three groups interfered with me and my camera equipment, they were all happy drunks. This too is a really beautiful part of Sydney, day or night, although its reputation has possibly been marred by recent events that have made the news. There has been some pretty serious advertising going on up in Sydney for Darling Harbour as a place to 'play.' It is interesting to think that potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on promotion could have all been for nothing with one bad news story. Anyway, check it out at night if you get a chance, its well worth a look.
In this part of the Harbour you have the maritime museum on the left, and the aquarium on the right. The white streaks in the sky near the flagpole is the movement of a flock of seagulls.
Even if you don't have much money for a classy meal at one of the restaurants along the promenade, Darling Harbour is a beautiful place to explore and walk around. Here the skyline of the city is central, and a large floating restaurant to the left of screen.
There are several interesting water features in this style throughout the Darling Harbour/Darling Park precinct. During warm days you will often see kids playing around in them.
