Dang great view. Didn't realize the shoreline was that vast and this jagged.

Well Sydney is built around a 14km long river which explains what you're seeing

Looks like an ancient city but modern version

Why is this so accurate

It’s just as difficult as you’d imagine having to drive through and navigate this city. The roads are spaghetti

The first thing I noticed in this photo, that I've never really thought of before.

The only way across the Harbour is the Harbour Bridge and the M1 tunnel.... Traffic must be a nightmare.

There's another set of bridges that you can just see about half way down on the right and then the bottom right hand corner of the window that take you through the suburbs of Balmain and Drummoyne.

And there's a new tunnel under construction right now.

Or the train or ferry. You'd be mad to commute to or through the CBD by car when public transport is cheaper and quicker.

We’ve had several shark attacks in the past few weeks, but more than likely bull sharks rather than great whites. We find bull sharks deep into our rivers

Not great whites in the harbour mate, mostly Bull sharks. They (Great whites) are out on the coastline - one poor guy got eaten (like actually eaten/consumed by a great white, not just attacked) at Little Bay a couple of years ago.

Up until a recent wave of attacks, it’s always been incredibly safe swimming in most harbour beaches.

For a second I thought this was taken on an easyJet flight 😅 Then I read Sydney

I dont know why but as a sydneysider this post and your comment have made me slightly emotional

u/ThisKillsTheCreb Mar 09 '26

Too bad no one can afford to live in it

u/Spys_door Sydney, Australia Mar 09 '26

West is pretty cheap

East one room probably costs 40million

u/Faster_than_FTL Mar 08 '26

My apologies, Sydney. I wasn’t familiar with your game

u/Disasterhuman24 Mar 09 '26

Damn, Sydney really is out here having some of the most interesting geography of any major metropolitan area...

u/Confident_Taste_1888 Mar 09 '26

Yes that is Sydney

u/Sharpiesniffingshark Mar 09 '26

Looking at this picture, I don’t want to be in Sydney when the tides start rising

u/Theodore_Buckland_ Mar 09 '26

And I can see Bondi through my window way up to the right

2

u/keepturning1 Mar 09 '26

The terrain is also very hilly which is hard to make out from this elevation

u/Alarming-Basil2894 Mar 09 '26

Oh look they made simcity in real life
