Darling Point, ferry wharf
This ferry wharf sits at the end of McKell Park, in the eastern suburb of Darling Point. It is serviced by Sydney Ferries which provides a regular service between Circular Quay and Watsons Bay. Clark Island is the small island that can be seen a short distance away in Sydney Harbour. Clark Island gets its name from Lieutenant Ralph Clark who cultivated a vegetable garden there in the early days of the colony.
In all the photos I see of Australia the water is so BLUE. Is it really like that or are all you photographers there just mega talented?
ReplyDeleteinteresting info!
ReplyDeleteso blue. i could spend a lot of time around these parts. i wish i could see australia someday.
ReplyDeleteMcKell Park is a gorgeous little part of Sydney, Jim. I have been collecting more info about the islands in the harbour. I did some posts last year and am ready to go with more next week. Happy coincidence.
ReplyDeleteTracy, there is definitely a difference in colour in Australia compared to other parts of the world. Visitors often remark about the deep shades of blue in the sky, which is reflected in the water and I've noticed it myself when I travel overseas too.
ReplyDeleteLovely wharf! I belive I"ve been there sometime back.
ReplyDeleteNice view and story to match.
ReplyDeletessshh, don't tell people about McKell park, one of the secret gems of the harbour

ReplyDeleteHi, I also have a friend living in Australia, he's in Nara-been. I like the color of the waters, so blue, very much enticing me to spend the whole afternoon savoring the wonders of nature. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove Sydney Harbor.
ReplyDeleteI would certainly like to be there. My two day stay in Sydney many years ago was much too brief.
ReplyDeleteMcKell Park brings back great memories of a Christmas picnic - what a lovely place this is! Thanks for the historical backgrounder.
