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.

  3. Oh dear, you've got spam!

    I think I can almost see my ex-office window from here. Great memories of course.

    And then that spiral water feature, ah I love it!I've got a picture of it but nowhere near as good as yours. I'm delighted to see it. No visitor walking along the wet path down to the bottom?
