Parramatta River trip
- Jul. 10th, 2009 at 9:22 PM
I don't know what this beautiful mansion is, but it seems to be part of the huge medical complex at Concord. I made a mental note to go back and explore further.

A little further downstream Could be Breakfast Point where the gasworks used to be. Anyway part of Sydney's Greater McMansion Plan.

Looking back upriver.

Suddenly there's a view of the city.

Another look back towards the setting sun.

First view of the Harbour Bridge. Judging by the angle we must have just passed under the Gladesville bridge, so we're two thirds of the way from Parramatta.
