Sydney Harbour (Port Jackson) 
Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour) separates Sydney from its northern districts and suburbs. In addition to the Sydney Harbour Bridge there are other bridges spanning the harbor further west (Gladesville Bridge, Ryde Bridge). It can also be crossed by ferry from Circular Quay. A cruise round the harbor by boat or ferry is a good way of seeing Sydney from its best side; there are various departure points round the harbor.

Port Jackson Beaches
The bathing beaches in the Port Jackson area (Nielsen Park, Balmoral, Camp Cove) are very popular with the locals and are considered safe, but the water is badly polluted, since much of the city's sewage is discharged into the sea, inadequately treated, near the beaches.
Taronga Zoo
From Circular Quay there are boats to Taronga Park Zoo, beautifully situated on a large tongue of land on the north side of the harbor.
The animals at the Zoo are from each continent including Africa and Asia.
All values are in Australia Dollars
