Keep your cameras ready! Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf. This historic landmark, jutting out into the sparkling Sydney Harbour, was once a bustling cargo wharf. Now, it’s a trendy spot with luxury apartments, a swanky hotel, and waterfront restaurants. Catch a glimpse of the bobbing yachts in the marina, a reminder of the area’s transformation.

Harry’s Cafe de Wheels, a Sydney icon! This bright yellow pie cart has been serving hungry Sydneysiders since 1938. Founded by Harry “Tiger” Edwards, it’s famous for its “Tiger Pie” – a classic Aussie meat pie loaded with mashed potato, mushy peas, and gravy. Mark the location of this historic eatery, a favourite of celebrities and late-night revelers alike.

This historic suburb was once a bustling working port, where ships loaded with Aussie wool set sail for distant shores. Today, Woolloomooloo has transformed into a chic urban village. See the trendy restaurants lining the wharf, where Sydneysiders flock to savour fresh seafood with stunning harbour views. Keep an eye out for the luxury yachts moored nearby – a far cry from the working vessels of yesteryear!

You might also catch a glimpse of the El Alamein Memorial Fountain, a beautiful tribute to wartime service. While Kings Cross offers a lively atmosphere, it’s known for its late-night energy.
