Monorail, Light rail and freeways

A transport spaghetti at the Convention Centre at Darling Harbour. The elevated freeway, elevated monorail and ground level light rail. In the background is the old Goldsborough Mort woolstore building, built in 1883, now redeveloped as apartments.

The monorail is much criticised. It has no real functional use other than being a tourist attraction, and is INCREDIBLY ugly, especially in the centre of the city. I hate dit then, and hate it now, and have never been on it! I say "maintain the rage!"

Cockle Bay

Pyrmont Bridge, a swing opening bridge, spans Cockle Bay in Darling Harbour. It used to be a main vehicle bridge in to Sydney, but once replaced by new freeways in the 1980s, it became a pedestrian bridge.

The decommissioned ferry, South Steyne is now used as a restaurant.
