The Rocks Markets

Level 6, 66 Harrington Street, The Rocks NSW 2000

What makes a great market? If it’s about passionate people selling things you want to buy in a pretty cool location then The Rocks Markets is one of Sydney’s greatest.

You know The Rocks is on the doorstep of the CBD, but it’s slower here, and infinitely more charming. And, really, who wants to rush when there’s so much to take in.

Where else can you buy dresses and bags designed by the stallholder, one-off jewellery, original artworks and prints, in a place where you can feel the sun on your face and catch glimpses of our gorgeous harbour?

If you haven’t been for a while, come back. You’ll be genuinely surprised.

Watson Road, Observatory Hill, The Rocks NSW 2000

Built in 1858, Sydney Observatory is Australia’s oldest observatory, and one of the most significant sites in the nation’s scientific history. It is recognised as an item of ‘state significance’ by the New South Wales Government and is heritage listed.

The Government Astronomers worked and lived in the building until 1982* when Sydney Observatory became part of the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences.

Today the Observatory is a museum and public observatory with an important role in astronomy education and public telescope viewing. It contains an 1874 29cm lens telescope, a 42cm computer-controlled telescope and a hydrogen-alpha solar telescope, able to be viewed through by visitors during booked sessions.

The Sydney Museum of Words

73 George Street, The Rocks NSW 2000
The Sydney Museum of Words is located smack bang in the middle of Sydney, located in the former Ken Duncan Gallery in The Rocks.

The exhibition will provide locals and tourists a collection of only the best words that Australia - and Sydney - has to offer. It's a great for a day out with the kids. ...

Susannah Place Museum

58 - 64 Gloucester Street, The Rocks NSW 2000
Built in 1844, Susannah Place Museum is a terrace of four houses that incorporates a recreated 1915 corner store. Rare in the city of Sydney, it has a continuous history of domestic occupancy by working class families. Susannah Place Museum provides a rare opportunity to explore domestic working class life from 1844 to 1990. It is evidence of the richness of community life that existed in The Rocks. The modest interiors and rear yards illustrate the restrictions of nineteenth century inner city life. The many layers of the paint finishes, wallpapers and floor coverings that have survived provide a valuable insight into the tastes of the working class. The original brick privies and open laundries are some of the earliest surviving washing and sanitary amenities remaining in the city. Please note: Museum entry is by guided tour only. Entry also included with the Sydney Museums Pass. ...
