The morning after our day at Manly Beach, we took The Essential Tour, a one-hour guided tour of the Opera House during which we learned a ton of information about the structure and its history. (I highly recommend it if you're headed Down Under.) I snapped this photo, showing a view of the Sydney Harbor Bridge from outside the Opera House, before we met the group for a tour.
