A slow stroll at the Rocks

jasonnewman

Welcome to the official visitor website for The Rocks precinct in Sydney, Australia. Traditionally the home of the Indigenous Cadigal people, the rocky sandstone ledge known as The Rocks is where members of the First Fleet stepped ashore on 26 January 1788 and British settlement of Australia was first established.

Today it is Sydney’s historic old town quarter, nestled between the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. Discover the stories behind its charming cobblestone laneways and historic buildings on an entertaining walking tour or simply wander about and experience a precinct steeped in history.

Great shopping, some of Sydney’s finest food and magical harbour views make The Rocks a unique destination not to be missed – and a wonderful place to start your exploration of the City of Sydney.

Explore this website for more information on places to eat and drink, shopping, things to do, arts, accommodation and events in The Rocks. You can even find out when the latest cruise ship is docking at the Overseas Passenger Terminal. Our live webcam provides you with a real-time view of The Rocks. Users can explore The Rocks by controlling the video feed.

Visit The Rocks Discovery Museum to discover the story of The Rocks from pre-European days to the present. Discover a completely different side of Sydney’s history on The Rocks Pub Tour.

Plan your visit with our interactive map of The Rocks, Sydney and see exactly where you want to go. There is also an easy reference disability guide to The Rocks, showing accessible and non-accessible pathways, transport stops and all facilities and services.

Visit the Sydney Visitor Centre in The Rocks Centre, on the corner of Argyle and Playfair Streets. You’ll find friendly and knowledgeable experts on Sydney attractions, as well as maps for The Rocks, the City of Sydney and beyond, brochures, tour booking facilities, gifts and mementos.

Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority is proud to care for The Rocks and is committed to ensuring the long-term preservation, maintenance and commercial success of this focal point of Sydney.

This is how the Opera House looks like at 4.35 on a winter afternoon. Shortly afterwards it will turn into pink.

She’s natural-born model. When I was taking pictures of her, she didn’t even bother to look up, hence this is a very natural capture of her beautiful image.
