Lovely to stroll around the harbour and through the gardens. Art Gallery of NSW is located on the far side away from the city; lots of artwork to admire with free entry (apart from special exhibitions).

I loved the beauty, views and everything! The fleet steps were fun along with the history of the area. Many, many people were out exercising and enjoying the beautiful day. The Opera House is under renovation while they fortify the area to protect it from the water.
