Mrs Maquarie Chair
The best view out of any of the advantage spots is Mrs Macquarie Chair or Macquaire Point. If you get there early it will give you a excellent view of the harbour bridge overlooking the opera house. The disadvantage of this area is that the park is divided into two levels. The bottom level is the quickest to fill generally in the early morning. The top of the park view is obstructed with trees that line the road in the top of the park you watch the fireworks through the trees. With a small section at the top giving a clear view of the fireworks. Mrs Macquarie chair gives you an excellent view of the harbour.
