Circular Quay, Deerubbun

The Deerubbun is seen here departing on a tour from Circular Quay, with the Sydney Opera House in the background. This former torpedo recovery vessel is owned by the Tribal Warrior Association, a charity that trains young people for careers in the maritime industry. The tours by Tribal Warrior Harbour Cruises teach tourists the Aboriginal names and meanings of significant Sydney landmarks. The stories of the Eora, Cadigal, Guringai, Wangal, Gammeraigal and Wallumedegal people are told and an Aboriginal cultural performance takes place on an island in Sydney Harbour.

Circular Quay, Vivid Sydney, bench

This artwork was installed on the Circular Quay foreshore, as part of the Vivid Sydney festival. "C/C" is a futuristic and functional sculpture created by Singapore's Angela Chong. It is made from acrylic sheets fashioned into a public bench, illuminated by night with low energy, colour changing LED lights. The shots from the front have the Sydney Opera House as a backdrop, while those from behind look out towards Circular Quay and the city skyline. I featured a daytime shot of this artwork here.

Sydney Opera House, Vivid Sydney, Lighting the Sails

The Sydney Opera House is illuminated every year for the Vivid Sydney festival. This year's "Lighting the Sails" was created by a team from France called Superbien. These designs were rather more difficult to photograph than in previous years because they were so animated.

Circular Quay, Vivid Sydney, bench

As part of the Vivid Sydney festival, this bench has been installed on the Circular Quay foreshore, leading up to the Sydney Opera House. The artwork is called "C/C" and is created by Singapore's Angela Chong. It is illuminated at night with low energy, colour changing LED lights. I thought it was worth photographing during the day because it has such a spectacular backdrop. It's a shame the view was partly blocked by the hoarding around the escalators which are being repaired.

Campbells Cove, wharf
