Rocks The
Situated on Sydney Harbour, adjacent to Circular Quay, The Rocks lies beneath the giant arch of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and overlooks the famous sails of the Opera House. This historic quarter of Sydney was the site of the first colonial settlement in Australia in 1788. The Rocks is now home to colourful characters, residents and artists. The Sydney Visitor Centre is a good place to start. Pick up a map, chat with the multi-lingual information officers and view the Centre's archaeological exhibition.
The Rocks is a waterfront precinct, where you will discover beautifully restored historic buildings and forget time as you admire the displays in one of the many galleries and museums. The historic precinct offers a wide selection of dining, shopping and entertainment. The Rocks is a must-do, part of every visitor’s enjoyment in Sydney.
