Ferry to Balmain and Darling Harbour

I took advantage of a fine day doing the ferry trip from Circular Quay to Balmain and Darling Harbour and return. (Click photos for enlarged versions.)


On Wharf 5 at Circular Quay as the ferry approaches for the commencement of our journey. Other ferries and river cats are in the background manoeuvring for their journeys. The Opera House glistens in the sunshine.


I disembarked at Balmain's Thames Street wharf and took a stroll through Mort Park and Balmain's back streets and then on to pick up a later ferry from the Darling Street wharf which is located in the distance at the end of the street in the photo above. I'll post more photos from Balmain's back streets separately.


A couple of sandstone homes located alongside the Darling Street wharf.

  1. Very nice walks. Sensible to walk down to Darling Street Wharf rather than up from the wharf.
