Woolloomooloo is close to the CBD and within walking distance of the NSW State Library and the Art Gallery of NSW. It is surrounded by the glittering blueness of Sydney Harbour, and the lush, green Botanic Gardens with views across Sydney Cove to the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. There is some seriously fine dining on the water along the heritage-listed Finger Wharf and the local pub scene is strong with untouched heritage gems and refurbished establishments dotted through the neighbourhood.
