A labyrinth of sandstone warehouses, tranquil courtyards, and meandering cobblestone lanes define the landscape of The Rocks, Sydney's oldest colonial neighbourhood. Surrounded by water on three sides, its history is steeped in maritime and waterside labour traditions. Savour exhilarating views from the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge dominating the district, with the Sydney Opera House gracing the opposite shore. Cadmans Cottage, established in 1816, stands beside the Museum of Contemporary Art, a superb starting point for exploring the neighbourhood's 19th-century structures, charming cafes, heritage pubs, boutiques, and vibrant galleries. The area was originally known as "Tallawoladah" by the Cadigal people, the land's original owners. Today, The Rocks has evolved into a lively tourist precinct, offering gift shops, cafes, markets, entertainment, and historic architecture.
