Sydney - Hornby Lighthouse

 20th May 2021


The best way for a Tourist to get to the Pacific Ocean from Sydney CBD is to head down to Circular Quay and catch a Ferry.



We headed off  across Sydney Harbour towards South Head where I have read is Sydney's "Most Adorable" Lighthouse.


This is a Lighthouse that has stood faithfully guarding the Shores and and protecting Mariners since 1858.


They say 'Its Bright Colours and Visible lantern give it a Touch of Carnival Mischief'.

All I found was a Sad and Faded Beauty that is in dire need of Restoration.

(In the very least - a conversation with the Lighthouse Keepers at Rottnest Island.)


At Her feet Waves crash on Rocks where the Pacific Ocean rolls in to the Harbour. 

But this is as close as we could get to completing our Quest today.



We return back to Circular Quay past One of the most recognisable Australian Landmarks.  

The Sydney Opera House.


Walking around its huge plaza we were certainly adding to our Step count today.

As were the Local Police who were more than happy to assist some tourists with their photographs.


It is here the Sun sets on our Day behind Sydney's other most recognisable Landmark.

The Harbour Bridge.
