Above us is a famous bridge and one you can walk over (car free) during World Youth Day 2008.
Sydney Harbour will be much busier than this when the Pope arrives at east Darling Harbour by boat. This is from a road that links the city side with Darling Harbour by way of a longer drive or walk under the bridge.

Western side of Darling Harbour, opposite side to that of the previous posts. World Youth Day gatherings will be made in Darling Harbour.
.....We are pilgrims on a journey, we are trav'lers on the road,
we are here to help each other...
....in the night-time of your fear I will hold my hand out to you...
when you laught I'll laugh with you...
.....I will share your joy and sorrow
'til we've seen this journey through....

....let you be my servant too.
from The Servant Song from Scripture in Song. Auckland NZ

Darling Harbour is also the scene of the gathering for the opening Mass for World Youth Day on Tuesday 15 July 2008.
This locality could be returned to as it crams in a lot to do and see.
The Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour will have hundreds of religious orders, groups and movements from all over the world ready to explain their work.

On another note, Sydney Aquarium takes you where you can see and wonder at the creation found in marine life and to walk, not on water but by tunnel under the water.
The Imax theatre boasts about its hugh screen and 3D and two shows at present include Dinosaurs 3D Giants of Patagonia and the Stones. I think I could safely say that creationism is not popular in the church and that dinosaurs of all types would be cool to see and hear.

Food services abound there, open areas to sit and wonder, water installations - reminders of Living Water, as well boating exhibits and museum and a small scale zoo operate there.
Ferry, buses, monorail and light rail reach Darling Harbour.

Darling Harbour, Sydney, where, for World Youth Day, Pope Benedict will arrive, by boat, on Thursday 17 July 2008. A colourful boat-a-cade will accompany the Pope who will step ashore at Barangaroo just around the corner from Sydney Harbour Bridge.
