Darling Harbour

We had a nice scenic view of the Darling Harbour.

Darling Harbour is named after Lieutenant-General Ralph Darling, who was Governor of New South Wales from 1825 to 1831.

It was only 5.17pm but the sky was already dark.


The LG IMAX theatre - the largest screen in the world


Darling Harbour, a locality of Sydney's city centre, is a large recreational and pedestrian precinct that is situated on western outskirts of the Sydney central business district.


Cockle Bay is just one of the waterways that makes up Darling Harbour, which opens north into the much larger Port Jackson.


The locality extends northwards from Chinatown, along both sides of Cockle Bay to King Street Wharf on the east, and to the suburb of Pyrmont on the west.

After much admiration of the harbor, we walked back to the hotel feeling satisfied as the night view of the harbor was indeed spectacular.
