On a cold, wet, and windy evening, all across the harbour spotlights shine far up into the velvet night sky as boats ply their trade, ferrying passengers and sightseers around this beautiful harbour city.

From this vantage point upon the Cahill Expressway, with cars and trucks rumbling past behind you and the harbour laid out before you, aglow with light, it's nigh on impossible not to fall in love with the beauty and charm of this city, no matter the weather. Because for all her faults and challenges, she really does know how to put on a show.
