Sydney Harbour

Famous Australian waterway

Sydney Harbour is the deep natural inlet that forms the heart of Sydney, Australia.

The harbour and its iconic bridge and opera house define the city's identity.

Australians often use it as shorthand for Sydney itself or for Australian coastal culture: We watched the New Year's fireworks over Sydney Harbour.
