Stroll in the sunshine along Sydney Harbour and the Opera House

AUSTRALIA // Melbourne is charming, but Sydney's got that va-va- voom, thanks mostly to its beauty queen of a harbour. In the daytime, ferries flit to and fro as tourists lick ice-cream cones along Circular Quay. In the evening, the sun sets behind the elegant industrial geometry of the Harbour Bridge, and the lights of Luna Park begin to twinkle. And then there's the splendiferous Opera House crowning Bennelong Point, the city's pride since 1973.
