2.3
But I am walking on and have good look at the tall ship James Craig, built in 1884.

 Pyrmont Bay was once a vital part of the harbour with shipyards, factories. Also troop transports left from here in wartime, and many migrants arrived here in the post-war years. 

Nice to have a coffee break and admire the lovely sculpture of a migrant family.
All along are signs with interesting information about the history of this peninsular.
Recently here too the old wharf buildings have been converted to up-market apartments, some with private boat moorings. In between are some nice little parks.

The of view of the city opposite from here is  beautiful. 

For a short distance one has to walk along Pirrama Road to Jones Bay. 




There are still some old buildings standing.









Wharf 19, 20 and 21 are used as commercial and professional offices with cafes and restaurants.








On this walk I had to stop often to look at the many interesting sites and enjoyed the great view. 
From here on Pirrama Road a bus goes back to  the city.
