This private wharf is located on Sydney Harbour, in the eastern suburb of Double Bay. It's for exclusive use by the residents of the nearby harbourside houses and apartments. This was viewed from the boardwalk around Redleaf Pool.
Noting Julies comment my in-house brains trust says that these are waterfront tenancies (govt land) and that the public can have access provided they don't interfere with the infrastructure.
Beautiful blue sky and wharf ! I wished we had also a blue sky !
ReplyDeleteLooks like most of the boat owners are out.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful city.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great place to explore. I've always wanted to see Sydney.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Jim, nice watery reflections. Happy weekend to you.
ReplyDeleteVery nice J.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot.
ReplyDeleteNow you have me annoyed. This is one of my pet peeves: that some land-owners have exclusive use of harbour foreshore.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, the view from Redleaf Pool is one of the great pleasures of living in this city.
Julie, it happens along the rivers too like the Georges River and Port Hacking Estuary.
ReplyDelete..it would also quantify as a jetty I believe. A luxury-afloat one at that
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I really like this shot, Jim. Have a great weekend...
ReplyDeleteI'm going back to work on Monday, so it's the last holiday w/end!
Always love your blue skies and what a great looking wharf! You do have a lovely city, Jim!

ReplyDeleteJoan, in theory this may be true but often the access is restricted or impossible so that not many of the general public can use them.
ReplyDeletemy bro lives up on the Gold coast on a private island, and they all they have private little jetties.
ReplyDeleteThe thing about these private jetties are no private at all people come up in boats , steal things and drive off again.
