Walsh Bay

The Walsh Bay Wharves Precinct is a harbour-side area in Sydney, located next to the neighbouring suburb of Dawes Point. Walsh Bay was the site of Sydney's port facilities. The wharves were converted to apartments, theatres, restaurants, cafes and a hotel.[1]

History

The precinct was originally known by the Aboriginal names of Tar-ra and Tullagalla.[2] The wharf was constructed from 1912 to 1921.[1]
