Darling Harbour
Darling
Harbour is one of Sydney's most popular recreation spots with over 1.3 million
people visiting the sunny foreshore precinct each year. The area has a colourful
history playing an integral role in Sydney's early market days when it was used
for receiving fresh produce and timber from Parramatta and the north coast.
In 1984 the Wran Government announced plans to redevlop the old wharves into
an area for leisure, culture and business for the people of Sydney. Over the
next three years, massive redevelopment works transformed the area into a beautiful
public space that was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1988 as part of Sydney's
Bicentennial Celebrations.
Today there's always plenty happening, lots to see and do, great shopping and
over 50 places to eat and drink at Sydney's Darling Harbour. ... Read
