Entering between North head and South Head, Sydney Harbour showcases some of Australia’s most exclusive residences and waterside park lands. There are literally dozens of parks and waterside amenities, and a ferry system operates to transport you all over from Manly all the way out to Parramatta. You will find some of Australia’s most renowned landmarks scattered throughout the harbour, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House.
