Because in the beginning, Sydney was a land of convicts, a remote wilderness of the world where British prisoners were paying their sins to thousands of miles from their birth site.

Over time more English began arriving, and seeking new opportunities.

The district’s summary of The Rocks was the beginning of the city. Located between the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge, it is dominated by small streets, many of them steep, the pubs, the inevitable market and some historic buildings such as Cadman’s Cottage, the oldest house in the city or other inhabited dwellings by former workers.

As in many other parts of the world, today this historic area has become trendy bohemian spirit with an abundance of gourmet restaurants and art galleries.

There is also space for antique paintings and even a tour of the Museum of Contemporary Aret.
