It was just old piers, but between 1999 and 2005, it was re-developed into a residential and commercial area, full of character, with superb views of the Harbour. It’s quieter than the east side, with the busy-ness there of all the boats coming in to the Quay and the activity of the Rocks area.

Now at Walsh Bay there is Sebel Pier One Hotel, the Sydney Theatre Company. There are also numerous fine restaurants, including the Wharf Restaurant, the Firefly Tapas Bar, and  Ottoman Cuisine.

I can imagine that it woul be a magical place at night, with views of the Harbour and across to Luna Park.
