View of the Harbor from North Sydney.

There are some really gorgeous houses in North Sydney, and obviously stunning views! There's also Luna Park, a super cute amusement park right on the water.

The walk across the bridge was pretty great also!
I'm serious about exploring great coffee places wherever I go and this one in Sydney is in a bay UNDER the Sydney Harbor Bridge in North Sydney. Top rated by Beanhunter the food was delicious and the coffee, well, I took some more to go on my walk back to my Airbnb in Neutral Bay.
