Just a minute’s walk from Barangaroo Reserve is Nawi Cove, a small cove with picturesque sandstone. This beautiful little cove in the middle of the city is available for filming and photography. It’s got stunning views across the harbour, plenty of native planting and shores of ancient sandstone. The space features a foreshore amphitheatre of ancient sandstone, open lawn area and clustered native trees. Sydney’s premier waterfront event venue, Nawi Cove, is in the heart of Sydney but feels like another world. It’s accessible by foot via Wulugul Walk, connected to the city’s cycle trails and nearby several public transport links, including ferry and bus. If you’d prefer to drive there’s also a 300 space public car parking space nearby.

Nawi Cove named after Aboriginal fisherwomen is a protected land located along the Yananurala harbour walk.

Nice relaxing place to sit and enjoy the views, good to watch the cargo ships come and go if that is your thing.
