Recently I was in the city for a book event that took me to the Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour.
I love the city and the harbour at night time.
It glistens and buzzes and sparkles everywhere you look.
The Maritime Museum currently has a Shackleton exhibition.
In the foyer, a suspended replica of Shackleton's lifeboat, the James Caird dominates the space.

"Cockle Bay was once a working harbour district where some of Sydney's poorest lived in hovels surrounded by shipyards, cargo wharves and quarries.
In anticipation of the 1988 Bicentenary, a huge redevelopment project was launched to reclaim this 54-ha (133-acre) site, and the area was revitalised through the wonderful Aquarium, the Maritime and Powerhouse Museums, and the Cockle bay and King St Wharf developments. Combined with a visit to Chinatown, Darling Harbour makes for a lively and entertaining excursion."

"Pyrmont Bridge opened in 1902, this 369-m (1210-ft) bridge, with a quaint copper-roofed control cabin, is the oldest electrically-operated swingspan bridge in the world. It swings open to allow vessels up to 14m (46ft) tall to enter of depart Cockle Bay."
