Les Rocks et le quartier historique
Le premier établissement européen d’Australie, fondé en 1788 : ruelles de grès, plus vieux pub du pays, marché du week-end sous les auvents, et les entrepôts de Campbell’s Cove.
La marche de Bondi à Coogee
Six kilomètres de sentier au bord des falaises, entre six plages, la piscine de mer d’Icebergs et le cimetière de Waverley. Deux heures, et des baleines de mai à novembre.
Le jardin botanique royal et Mrs Macquarie’s Chair
Trente hectares au bord de l’eau, ouverts en 1816 sur la première ferme de la colonie, et le siège taillé dans le grès pour la femme du gouverneur — d’où l’on cadre l’Opéra et le pont d’un seul regard.
L’Art Gallery of New South Wales
La grande collection de l’État depuis 1871, doublée en 2022 par le Sydney Modern de SANAA : art australien, art aborigène de la collection Yiribana, et un réservoir de guerre transformé en salle.
Manly et le ferry
Trente minutes de traversée depuis Circular Quay — le plus beau trajet de transport en commun du monde, disent les Sydneysiders — jusqu’à une station balnéaire au bord du Pacifique et au North Head.
Le parc national royal
À une heure au sud, le deuxième parc national créé au monde, en 1879 : falaises, cascades, le Figure Eight Pool creusé dans la roche, et le sentier côtier de trente kilomètres.
Le marché de Paddy’s et Darling Harbour
La halle de 1834, rebâtie sous les tours de Haymarket, et le bassin réaménagé pour le bicentenaire de 1988, avec ses passerelles piétonnes et ses feux d’artifice du samedi.
Le Queen Victoria Building
Une halle romane byzantine de 1898 occupant un pâté de maisons entier, sauvée de la démolition en 1986 : coupole de cuivre, vitraux, mosaïque, et l’horloge royale qui joue des scènes toutes les heures.
Le phare de Hornby et South Head
La pointe sud de l’entrée du port, ses falaises de grès, la plage nudiste de Lady Bay et un phare rayé rouge et blanc de 1858 — élevé après le naufrage du Dunbar, qui fit cent vingt et un morts.
Le Museum of Contemporary Art
Un immeuble Art déco de 1952 sur Circular Quay, consacré à l’art vivant australien et international. La terrasse du dernier étage regarde l’Opéra de face, et l’entrée est libre.
