Darling Island Wharf

The Darling Island Wharf in Darling Harbour, is located in the inner city suburb of Pyrmont. Darling Island was levelled and joined to the mainland with hewn rock in the late 1840s. It became home to shipbuilding yards of the Australian Steam Navigation Company. This view is out to Barangaroo, the Harbour Control Tower and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

  1. An interesting view of the bridge... We still haven't been to Australia - but after seeing my friends trip photos a few weeks ago, I keep watching airline prices :)!

  3. Your view is unusual in that it is not city-orientated and yet it shows the Bridge icon.I like it.

  5. The bridge off in the distance is really nice. I like the way the curving steel rises above everything else. Great composition. genie

  6. Lovely capture, Jim! Sydney has a lot of history compared to other parts of Australia so it's interesting to peel back the layers and learn of the past

  7. It doesn't matter where you take the shot from Jim, this is still the best looking bridge anywhere!
