Looking NE from Mort Bay, Balmain about 6:30amSydney - as with many other large cities - considers suburbs grouped together to form cohesive geographic areas, eg Northern Beaches, North Shore, The Hills, Western Suburbs, The Shire, Inner West and Eastern Suburbs and St George.
Balmain is part of the Inner West and runs the length of a peninsula jutting out into Port Jackson. It is a very old working class suburb that has been "gentrified" over the last forty years. Mort Bay housed the Mort Dry Dock until about 1968 when it was no longer economically viable. It is now parkland with protected remants of dock.

A very tranquil image
Beautiful light! I like the still surface of the water. Very relaxing photo.
i like to come here in winter
the sun is in this blog :-)
Don't forget the St George Area.
A view of the bridge we don't usually see. Very atmospheric light.
We might no have much to recommend us but you shouldn't forget St George. We do have Botany Bay.
Love the light in the photo and I like the poem -- the birds gargling, the bumper-to-bumper clouds when most of us face bumper-to-bumper traffic in the morning (One more week to enjoy before that again).
lovely picture; they completed our Tyne Bridge a little earlier than its' big brother in Sydney
My fascination with bridges is sated with this image including an exquisite reflection.
Such a picturesque harbor and a vert pleasant new year morning.
I see you've added the St George area to your list of Sydney regions. Excellent! Thank You.
