The Star casino features this sign outside the Pirrama Road entrance, in the inner city suburb of Pyrmont. The large letters have been wrapped in Australia’s sporting colours, green and gold, to celebrate Australia’s participation in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. The venue hosts live screenings of the soccer matches for the duration of the World Cup.
Pyrmont Bridge is a swing bridge that crosses Cockle Bay at Darling Harbour and connects the inner city suburb of Pyrmont with the Sydney central business district. The bridge was opened in 1902 but closed to traffic in the 1980s when freeways south of Cockle Bay were built. It reopened as a pedestrian bridge with the redevelopment of Darling Harbour in 1988. It also carries an elevated monorail with a track that remains stationary so that the monorails can continue to cross even when the bridge swings open for large boats.

A view of Jones Bay Wharf, in the inner city suburb of Pyrmont, with Barangaroo and the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the distance. Jones Bay Wharf consists of Piers 19-21 of Pyrmont Wharves. This marina on Jones Bay sits beside Pier 21. The wharf and warehouse buildings were originally built in 1919, as part of Sydney’s port facilities. After those port facilities were relocated to Port Botany, the buildings were redeveloped in 2003 into commercial space.
