You know, you've got the Sydney Opera House, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Luna Park.

And really, when you take that ferry and arrive that way, it's Sydney on a stick.

You know, it's got the views, it's got absolutely everything you could possibly want.

Sydney on a Kewpie doll stick, in fact, because that's where the Summer of the 17th doll was filmed in 1958.

And Angela Lansbury.

And just the most extraordinary backdrop.

The first time Sydney really starred in a Hollywood film, the first film made with foreign money from America.

So it was recognisable as one of the most

startling spots on the harbour.

The gold tooth in the mouth of the harbour, the Sydney Morning Herald used to call it, because it was a gold mine, but it's kind of now considered a bit more the lowbrow face of the harbour as opposed to the highbrow face at the Sydney Opera House that it looks out at.

Wild mouse still does.

Yes.

And the zipper, which turned you completely upside down.

You know, obviously over the generations the rides have changed.

In fact, the rotor is currently on the right-hand side when you walk through.

When I was a kid it was on the left-hand side.

And it was always the place where more people lost their lunch than any other part of the park.

Is that true?

Yes.

And in fact, we're not allowed to call it vomit at the park.
