Located on Hicksons Road, Dawes Point, New South Wales, Australia š¦šŗ. 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. Thereās 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. Thereās always something to see or do and thereās so much history there. Definitely worth a visit and I couldnāt...

There are audio commentary on many of the photos, however, because of the building age, there are a lot of 'dead zones' where it won't come through on your mobile. It would be nice if they had a simple audio w/earphones system that could be carried along as you are walking through the exhibition. Also, this is a converted warehouse, it's not heated, so dress warmly. The photos are stunning and definitely worth the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI regularly do stair running in this special location with fantastic harbour views. Cafes, restaurants and multiple theatres in this location. Also public sculture. Big negative is that the whole area is an ugly dirty construction site...i.e. Barangaroo. The area is in need of a big dominant sculpture of Barangaroo herself...preferably in her iconic and notorious dinner...
