Walsh Bay

It is a nice sunny place in the morning for breakfast or brunch. A great place for walking through with your dog to the rocks.

Titanic exhibition is just amazing. It takes a good hour- don't arrive before your due time. It is well set out and very educational- even if you think you know about the Titanic. Well worth a visit.

Located on Hicksons Road, Dawes Point, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺. Also known as the Walsh Bay Wharves Precinct or the Walsh Bay Arts Precinct. This beautiful part of Sydney is a stones throw away from the Historic Rocks Area and a lovely walk to Circular Quay taking you under the Sydney Harbour Bridge or if you go in the opposite direction, the path will lead you to Barangaroo and Darling Harbour. There are bus services that will take you into the Sydney CBD. The views from the Wharves overlooking the Sydney Harbour are iconic. You have a fantastic view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and across Port Jackson towards Sydney Luna Park. Walsh Bay is home to the Australian Chamber Orchestra where you can enjoy some amazing performances. There’s also some great restaurants including the Elements Seafood Grillhouse just to name one. Walsh Bay is named after Henry Walsh who was the Engineer-in-Chief of the Sydney Harbour Trust. Walsh Bay was originally a Working Port but was converted into apartments, theatres, restaurants, cafes and a hotel and in 2015 was designated into a major arts precinct. Much of the precinct is listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register. I always love to coming to Walsh Bay, either to go to one of its restaurants or cafes or to an exhibition eg the Steve McCurry Icons Exhibition when it was on. Or maybe to watch a concert by the ACO. There’s always something to see or do and there’s so much history there. Definitely worth a visit and I couldn’t recommend enough.

What's not to love about this location right on Sydney Harbour? Bridge views and more. Casual stroll around the Piers, where the views are world class and free

This pretty little area is well serviced by cafes looking across the wharves. Wander up the old wharves and see some of the archaeological artefacts found from colonial era Australia. Some streets lead you up into Miller's Point and some well preserved streetscapes and quirky laneways. grab a coffee and meat pie from IGA supermarket and sit on the wharf and watch the boats bob by.
