darling harbour

Darling Harbour is a locality of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia with a large recreational, pedestrian precinct. It is situated at Sydney central business district. The locality extends northwards from Chinatown, along both sides of Cockle Bay to King Street Wharf on the east, and to the suburb of Pyrmont on the west. Cockle Bay is just one of the waterways that makes up Darling Harbour, which opens north into the much larger Port Jackson.

The Darling Harbour precinct is home to a number of major public facilities and attractions, including:

* Sydney Entertainment Centre
* Paddy's Market
* Sydney's Chinese Gardens
* Tumbalong Park
* Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre
The Chinatown of Sydney was first located on the rocky area of Sydney, but later it was moved near the market street at the Darling Harbour where the Darling Harbour Hotel stands.

At the Darling harbour hotel ask for a Sydney CBD Map and look out at the registered clubs, i.e. NSW Leagies Club, Bowling Club, Catholic Club, City of Sydney RSL, all serve cheap beer and good value tucker. Avoid the tourist restaurants nearby Darling Harbour hotel, although try at least one for the experience.

We took the monorail outside our hotel to Darling Harbour. I wish we had more pictures of this beautiful--made for tourism location. Many shops, restaurants, jet boat rides and various entertainment. It was well done and very fun place to be.
