The Sydney harbour ferries are a cheap and fun way to see the city from the water. Especially worthwhile at night but the car park a bit expensive, we park 2 hour for $25.

It was beautiful. To be honest I didn't see what the big deal was with the bridge, it was just another bridge... But none-the-less it was a wonderful walk down the harbour.

Although I did not get to take the tour of the bridge, I got to see afar still and occasionally drive over it, it was great, a wonderful example of human ingenuity and skill. A wonderful site in the evenings when their are holidays and events that light up the bride with (moving) color.

Make sure you take the ferry over to Manly. A very enjoyable afternoon out. Have lunch in the esplanade or just sit and watch the surfers. There are also some nice shops.
