Anzac Bridge at sunset, looking towards the Rozelle end of the bridge.
This small bridge on Walsh Bay at Dawes Point, links pier one to pier two at the Walsh Bay wharves. The orange & white banners and flags are for the 2011 Sydney Writers’ Festival which has been running for the past week in many of the theatres and venues around the Walsh Bay precinct.
The entrance to Fake nightclub is located in Bridge Lane. Fake Club is part of Tank nightclub which is in this redeveloped warehouse building. Quite a colourful sign and door for this otherwise drab laneway. Bridge Lane is almost deserted during the day but comes alive at night.
This sunset on the Parramatta River is viewed from what remains of the abutment of the first Gladesville Bridge at Howley Park in Drummoyne. The bridge replaced a ferry service that ran across the river from Abbotsford Point to Bedlam Point. It opened in 1881 and was a two lane swing span iron bridge, with a swing at this southern end that opened to allow through ferries, sailing boats and steamers with high funnels. By 1910, the electric tramway travelled across this bridge from the city to Ryde. The second Gladesville Bridge with a clearance of 30 metres was built nearby and opened in 1964.
The , viewed from the Sydney Opera House forecourt. The bright lights near the northern pylon are from Luna Park at Milsons Point.
Spent a good part of Good Friday attractively suited up in a Tele-tubbies outfit, doing the Sydney harbour . It was FANTASTIC – a great experience!
More pics to come but we had trouble extracting them from the USB we purchased.

‘Greenhouse by Joost’ was a temporary eco-friendly cafe with spectacular views installed on the shore at Campbells Cove in The Rocks. The building was created by artist Joost Bakker and built using recycled materials. Three old shipping containers made up one of the walls and were decorated with a mural featuring butterflies and children playing. This view is from the Overseas Passenger Terminal towards the Harbour Bridge. The cafe closed this week after eight successful weeks and since it was quite popular there are plans to rebuild it in a permanent location. You can see a daytime of the cafe from another angle here.
