Entrance to Sydney Harbour
The entrance to Sydney harbour is called the GAP. For many years ships have come and gone through the entrance. The cliffs are high and sharp. Not a place to swim. The ocean swell is very high through this area and makes for a tricky voyage in a small craft. On the way to Manley you noticed quite a difference in the swells on the ferry. You are asked by the captain to hang on as he passes close by it but he does not go through it. The lighthouse is the old orginal one that no longer functions. It would keep up most of Sydney at night. The middle pic is looking south from the gap and you can see lots of homes high on the cliff. Just beyond the homes the land sweeps in to lovely Bondi Beach. The last pic is looking north up to Manley Beach.
