The oldest part of (white) Australia. It is where Captain Arthur Philip started the first penal settlement on 26 January 1788. Now a lively & romantic area with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants.

The highest point in the inner-city, where in 1858 the Observatory was built to keep the timer and observe the Southern Cross. Now a museum, a cafe and a favourite location for weddings.

Right by the Sydney Harbour Bridge. From the Ivy Steps we marvel at this beautiful part of the harbour, with views on the bridge and the Sydney Opera House.

Opened in 1932, after 9 years of construction. Employed 16,000 people, and therefor called “Sydney’s Iron Long”. Also known as “The Coat-hanger”. With 508 meters wide, for a long time the widest single span bridge. 134 meters high. 8 car lanes, 2 train-tracks, a pedestrian walkway, a cycle path and a … commercial Bridge climbing operation.

Spot where Elizabeth Macquarie, Lachlan’s second wife, loved to wait for tall shops to come in from England with letters from home, furniture and clothes.

Her husband had a seat carved for her out of the sandstone: Mrs Macquarie’s Chair is an attraction, and a good excuse to take in the views over this part of the harbour.

Former prison island, military fort (during the Crimean War) and a posh restaurant.

AKA the Fingerwharf, the largest wooden construction in the world. Once a working waterfront, with a fish-market and a ferry-wharf. Now the home of Hollywood actors, a 5 star hotel and upmarket restaurants.
