Sydney is the capital of the Australian state of New South Wales and is located on the east coast of the continent about 475 nautical miles from Brisbane to the north and 707 nautical miles from Hobart to the south.  With the iconic Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, the city is probably a must on any cruise up or down Australia's east coast.

Entrance Notes or Cautions for Sydney Harbour:

There is a 15-knot maximum speed limit in Sydney Harbour for vessels traveling under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and all vessels will not be permitted to stop or drift under the Bridge. The restriction applies in a safety zone 600m east of the bridge and 700m to the west. NSW Maritime boating officers patrol and monitor the zone, and penalties apply for non-compliance.

Cruiser Highlights for Sydney:

Sydney is Australia's largest city and home to a vibrant sailing community and starting point of one of the world's classic boat races - The Sydney to Hobart - so you'll find everything you need here before continuing your journey north or south.
