Expose: Darling Harbour

Darling Harbour is one of the most famous and popular areas of Sydney. It is a major tourist attraction, offering many restaurents and entertainment venues such as the Sydney Aquarium, the Chinese Gardens, an IMAX, several clubs and pubs including the famous Watershed, Autralian National Maritime Museum, Paddy's Market and much more. It is situated just west of the CBD and offers a stunning view of the city core and the bay from almost any spot around the harbour. Nearby locations which will be "exposed" on my blog in the near future include Chinatown, Sydney Harbour, Cockle Bay, the city center, and Paddy's Market and the Sydney Aquarium will also have their own posts soon. In the meantime, here are some pictures taken all around the harbour, which is a sort of horseshoe shape as most harbours are. Enjoy!
