This walk will take you from Sydney Town Hall, south into what was once the industrial backyard of Sydney.
Its first buildings were factories, workshops and housing for some of the city’s poorest citizens. Later it became a warehousing and market precinct.
Today it contains Sydney’s Spanish Quarter, its Chinatown, and what is arguably the most significant 20th century Aboriginal site in the City. What the area lacks in grand buildings, it makes up for in its colourful social history of Sydney’s ethnically diverse population.
