After spending the afternoon on foot, we popped into the Belgium Beer Cafe in The Rocks for a break and snack. Then it was onto the evening walking tour of The Rocks. This walking tour delved deeper into the history of The Rocks, the site of Australia’s first European settlement. We walked through dark laneways. Listened to stories of the various pubs and historical buildings in the area. Our guide Ross, who is also the owner founder of IM FREE walking tours, was entertaining and gave the stories a sense of fun and intrigue. Stories included Australia’s largest bank robbery, the first hanging and the plague in Sydney.
This photo was taken at Observatory Hill, which gives you a pretty impressive view of Sydney Harbour Bridge and Luna Park across the bay.
After The Rocks walk, I headed to Din Tai Fung dumpling restaurant at World Square for a late dinner. Despite it being fairly late at night there were still plenty of people having dinner.
Given it was only my first day in Sydney, I felt like I’ve learned and seen a lot of this beautiful city. It truly deserves to be Australia’s most well known city in the world. I can see why people enjoying visiting Sydney and I’m now one of them. Thanks for stopping by today.
