A living Harbour - Sydney Harbour.

Sydney Harbour is renowned the world over as a stunningly beautiful waterway. Its intricate and intimate coves, deep inlets and tiny beaches, headlands and islands are still lushly vegetated. Its period of industrial use was relatively short-lived, and industrial sites are now being reclaimed as reserves, or for residential development. In this program we take five icons as a means to explore the Harbour's history as living, breathing entity, a waterway that people have always been closely engaged with. Our five icons are: *The Aboriginal whale rock carving at Balls Head. *An untitled watercolour by Joseph Lycett from his Views in Australia book. *Lavender Bay  *Henry Lawson's poem 'Sacrifice at Balls Head' *Blues Point Tower, designed by Harry Seidler.
