This shot was taken after dark at Sydney’s Darling Harbour, near the Australian National Maritime Museum. A still night was generous with reflections.

The Australian National Maritime Museum is housed in a sleek white building on Darling Harbour. The museum shares the history of Australia and the sea. Here you will find antique racing yachts, WWII destroyers, jet-powered boats, and Australia II – the 12-meter yacht that won the America’s Cup in 1983. The museum displays permanent and temporary exhibits, many of which have interactive components. Some of the exhibit themes include the Navy exhibit, First Australians exhibit and the Leisure gallery.There are guided tours both inside the museum and on the ships moored in the bay. Highlight gallery tours are free, check times of this and other tours and booking requirements at the ticket desk

Cape Bowling Green lighthouse

Cape Bowling Green lighthouse was built 70 km south of Townsville in 1874, when the colony of Queensland was booming with gold rushes and sugar production. The increased coastal traffic associated with the boom resulted in shipping accidents on the sand shoals around Cape Bowling Green and the need for a lighthouse to assist safe navigation.

The magnificent replica of Captain James Cook’s famous ship of discovery, HMB Endeavour, returned to Sydney in April 2005 having completed 11 years of world voyaging under the HM Bark Endeavour Foundation. The vessel was then transferred to the Australian Government and then to the Australian National Maritime Museum, where the ship is displayed as one of the nation’s foremost historical exhibits. The museum maintains Endeavour and undertakes voyages to display the vessel to audiences in other ports, and to enable the public to experience 18th-century square-rig voyaging and seamanship
