Two of my favouritest places in Sydney are these two. The top one is of course the fabulous Coathanger, the harbour bridge. I have walked across it, driven across it in a car, been across it in trains, cruised under it in boats, and flown over it in aeroplanes. It always looks great, specially at night when it is all lit up. It makes a great base for fireworks as well and someday I will nag the Oldies into taking me down for the big New Year's display.The bottom one is Fort Denison, built in 1857 to protect the central harbour. There are cannons in the round tower and a lighthouse on top of it. You can get to the fort by ferry, take a tour of the fort, and even have lunch out there if you wish. There are no soldiers there now, just tour guides and National Park rangers. Well worth a visit if you have a spare couple of hours when you are in Sydney.
