Walsh Bay, on Sydney Harbour, stretches between Dawes Point and Millers Point. The Walsh Bay wharves were originally part of Sydney’s port facilities. The Wharf Theatre opened in 1984 in the redeveloped warehouse building on Pier 4 and Pier 5. It contains two theatres: Wharf 1 has 339 seats and Wharf 2 has 205 seats. It is the home base for the Sydney Theatre Company and the Sydney Dance Company. It also features The Wharf Restaurant at this end of the building.
Clarkes Point Reserve is located in the inner west suburb of Woolwich and provides spectacular views of Sydney Harbour. This lookout is one of the best vantage points on the harbour with views to the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Mount Lewis Reserve is located in the western suburb of Mount Lewis. It is unclear how the suburb got its name because it isn’t much of a mountain, although this park is the highest point in the local government area of Bankstown, providing distant views.
This view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge is from Dawes Point at dusk.
“The Tank Farm” is the name of this structure in Ballast Point Park, in the inner west suburb of Birchgrove. The tanks depict how Ballast Point was once used by industry as a working harbourfront and grease manufacturing site. The three remaining riveted horizontal tanks date back to the 1920s and were formerly used to store solvents. They are in their original form, making them a visual landmark from land, air and the harbour.
