The Rocks is considered the premier place to visit and stay when visitors arrive in Sydney.
Ensconced in old world European architecture and views of Sydney Harbour, The Rocks was established in 1788 by Admiral Arthur Phillip. Originally settled as a penal colony, the transported convicts were given the task of building government establishments and official housing, many of which are still standing today. Examples of such structures include Cadman's Cottage, The Sydney Observatory and Dawes Point Battery, which acted as the first fortified position in New South Wales.
All of these sites are a must on any visitors' itinerary.
