Even before the gangway clicks shut, Sydney Harbour announces itself: wind sheens off the water and the bridge leans in like a giant listener as the boat slips free. The retro lights, neon wristbands and a steady beat turn the upper deck into a moving lookout where the Opera House tilts past like a stage prop and ferries scuttle below.
