Comments

we did this walk at night and was a great way to see the lights of Sydney , The Rocks and the fire works over the Opera House for Remembrance Day. A lot of people around with three cruise boats in the harbour but the walk was well lite and had lots of distractions along the way. Take a camera because you never know what you will see along the way with street performers and lots of social activities to see. You forget quickly about the walk and amerce yourself in the night life of Sydney. We seem to walk forever and after a while i think we just made our own trail. Lots of fun and you can make it as long or as short as you want.

Pretty much obligatory when visiting Sydney, right?

Good walk for the afternoon. I recommend once crossing the bridge do a detour to Observatory Park by walking down the stairs and through tunnel. Awesome views of the harbour.
