Walsh Bay Precinct Association

Skip to content

Sydney’s blessed

with a seemingly infinite capacity to surprise and charm.

It may be

a street you’ve never walked before. A building you’ve never noticed until today.

A new perspective perhaps,

the discovery of fascinating fragments of our turbulent history.

Even something

as familiar as the Harbour can still reveal well-kept secrets, unfolding a rich past in the midst of modernity.

Leave the hustle and bustle

of The Rocks, step quietly past the posing brides,

pause to marvel

at the great grey bridge that soars up from its granite towers above you

find yourself in Walsh Bay,

where everything old is new again..!
