Sydney, Australia sits on a large inlet extending inland from the Pacific Ocean, forming the world's largest natural harbor. This gives Sydney extensive waterfront areas with many individual harbors, marinas, and beaches. Much of Sydney's transportation utilizes this water access. Circular Quay, located at the iconic Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge, was the founding site of both Sydney and Australia. The document includes photographs showcasing various landmarks and areas around Sydney, including Circular Quay, Darling Harbor, downtown Sydney, and views of the harbor and ocean.
