Best Sydney Australia Things to Do for Free
Exploring The Rocks
One of the oldest places to explore in Sydney is the area known as The Rocks. Opposite the cove from where the Sydney Opera House stands, The Rocks is where the first convicts were settled upon the arrival of the colonists to New South Wales from England.
Since essentially the first arrivals were convicts and their guards, the first places of abode built here were simple mud and stick huts, but quickly gave way to the old windy streets, historic warehouses and places of business that supported the earliest growth of the colony, from the late 18th Century to the middle of the 19th.
Today, those streets and many of those buildings are still extant. Now a restored historical district, at The Rocks there are art galleries, historic walks, old homes and a growing collection of bars, entertainment and restaurants. Explore The Rocks:
Located at the foot of The Rocks by Circular Quay is the Museum of Contemporary Art. See ever changing collections works of arts by Australian and overseas artists:
