Looking towards Sydney from near Blue's Point, on the North Sydney side of the harbour. Milson Point is just to the left of the tree. I don't often go here but visitor was staying nearby so went for a walk to this park to get a glimpse of the city just before dark.
Seems like a good spot to be on New Years Eve for fireworks display!
