Sydney Harbour

Located on the top of the Four Seasons Hotel in Sydney, the earthTV camera offers a wonderful view at the white wings of the famous opera house (UNESCO world heritage since 2007). In front of this beautiful setting, ships leave the bay accompanied by lots of seagulls and the daily traffic hassles over the bridge.
