A day without golf meant a day on the water. Our group enjoyed a three hour tour of the Sydney Harbour (Gilligan Island theme again?).
As you can see the harbour is massive.
We boarded our boat next to the Opera House and headed east (to the right towards the ocean). The captain cruised into each of the bays on the southern shore where we admired some fairly impressive real estate both in terms of architecture and prices.
One of the bays contained the Australian navy shipyards.
The real estate is mind boggling. Anything near the water is multiple millions and starter homes in some neighborhoods begin at $6M. There wasn’t a square foot of space left available.
And of course one has to have a boat anchorage.
We reached the eastern end of the harbour where it empties into the ocean.
Turning westward we paralleled the north shore which is not as built up but still had some impressive homes.
Back under the Harbour bridge with its climbers.
A very enjoyable afternoon on the water learning about the different areas and how they’ve changed in the past few years.
The day ended with dinner on the waterfront near the Opera House with about two thousand of our closest friends (the people and entertainment continues to amaze).
Back to golf tomorrow in the hills in the northern suburbs. Our good weather fairy continues to perform as warm, dry conditions prevail.
