Hi Geoff. Can't wait to see your photos. Hope you don't mind a bit of correction too but officially it is known as I state in the title. I am aware we all call the tower centre point but the name changes as the ownership does. I'm pretty sure it's the shopping centre below that uses that name. These days it's plain old Sydney Tower. Thanks for the visit though. Rob
This 1892 bridge was once a suspension bridge, with cables running between the stone towers, and a steel girder span. It developed serious faults in 1935 and was rebuilt with a central masonry and concrete arch.
To be strict the geographical name is Shark Bay, with Nielsen Park behind, but most Sydneysiders know it as Nielsen Park beach. I cannot find any record of a shark attack here.
The position given is not for the pillbox, it is actually where the photo is taken from, in the middle of Randwick Golf Course. I think that is the correct convention here. The pillbox location is on the opposite headland, at 33 58' 02" S, 151 15' 54" E. So all is well.
Unfortunately this is a view of the entrance to the naval base HMAS Watson in Sydney. It is not a view of the Hotel, which is called Watson's Bay Hotel anyway.
Unfortunately this is not Watson's Bay, or The Gap either. It is a view of the coast around the Macquarie Light. Watsons Bay is a short distance away at 33 50' 34" S, 151 16' 50" E.

This is actually a view the other way from Manly Ferry wharf, towards the aquarium.
