Walsh Bay

This historic neighbourhood is based around wharves dating back to the mid-1800s. Today, these beautifully refurbished piers are a hub of arts and culture. You’ll find the Sydney Theatre Company, Sydney Dance Company and Bangarra Dance Company, Australia’s acclaimed Indigenous dance troupe. Be sure to stop for a drink at The Theatre Bar at the End of the Wharf for its spectacular views of the Harbour Bridge.
