Another of the city’s revitalised wharf precincts, Woolloomooloo is to the east of the Royal Botanic Garden. There’s still a working naval base here and you’ll often see huge ships docked just offshore. Enjoy a long lunch at one of the stylish restaurants that line the wharf or have a swim in the stunning Andrew (Boy) Charlton Pool, which is perched right on the edge of the water.
