You step from the city into the harbour light: gulls wheel, ferries cut white wakes and the Opera House tilts its sails against a bright sky. The first hour unfolds through sandstone streets where the colonial grid meets Aboriginal pathways, then the drive arcs over the Harbour Bridge and out toward ocean cliffs that dare you to look farther.
