    I think it's better described as post-colonial.

    Yes, + rep, but which part of Sydney? - and not Sydney cove or The Rocks. Bonus rep for specific ID.

    Yes, Circular Quay. Where it all started for colonial Australia, by the long gone stream right in the middle there somewhere. I was curious how recognisable Sydney would be with out it's trademark Opera House and Harbour Bridge, just out of shot to the left and right respectively. You'll have to wait a little while for the bonus rep - feel free to remind me later.

    Your go.

    Easy when you have been there umpteen times - the high rises including the AMP tower, the Sailors home, restaurants near the Park Hyatt Hotel including Doyles at the Wharf...

    Next challenge which picks up the nautical theme...

    I think that ship on the right is the MSC Lea, in which case odds are this is somewhere in the Mediterranean
