Introduction
The Rocks is the birthplace of Sydney, where European settlers landed and built the city in 1788, one of Australia's oldest European settlements. Narrow cobbled lanes, sandstone cottages, century-old pubs and warehouse buildings retain the colonial character, now a historic precinct with museums, galleries, boutiques and restaurants and bars. On weekends, the Rocks Market fills with handicrafts, food and antiques stalls, bustling with life. Close to the Harbour Bridge and Circular Quay, it is the perfect starting point to feel Sydney's founding history and link up harbour landmarks.
