The summit has tall safety glass with nice frosted etching that points out sites of interest. | Panning from Government House | down Bennelong Point | to the Opera House | (and even jumping off the land to Fort Denison!) |

Very pretty view into Sydney Cove. Can you spot Sydney Tower? | The south feeder to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. | I coax Philip onto a bench ("let's see if we can frame the glass out of the shot"), and he death-grips the safety glass. Both Philip and the Sydney Opera House beam back at me. | And Philip is relieved to be back inside as we descend. | |

Another group of Bridge Climb staff are stationed near one of the engineering sheds. | I take advantage of the non-glassed views as Philip makes use of the gift shop restroom. | I liked this slightly-canted composition. | This was a spare kingpin assembly for the bridge found many years after construction completed. | This is the more utilitarian present-day Police Station for The Rocks. |

And we finally make it to Taronga Zoo. | I swear--we looked quite respectible! | Philip starts to getting wary of the gondolas. | The wide-eyed terror! | And we lift-off as Philip tries to fixate on terrestial objects. |

The lovely view. | A view of the rest of the "Sky Safari". | A koala tracks on Philip. | Philip spots some wildlife | which then scampers away. |
