Circular Quay, Ferry terminal in Sydney Cove, Australia.

Circular Quay is a harbor and transport hub stretching between Bennelong Point and The Rocks with multiple ferry wharves and terminals. The facility links ships, trains, and buses in one central location.

The site was originally called Warrung by Aboriginal people and became the First Fleet's landing place on January 26, 1788, marking the start of European settlement in Australia. This made the harbor a key turning point in Australian history.

The Aboriginal name for Circular Quay is Warrung, meaning "little child". The Cadigal clan inhabited the shores of Sydney Cove, and the Eora word for "here" or "from this place" was used to describe their origins to the British. The Sydney Writers Walk, a series of bronze plaques set into the pavement, honours Australian authors along the waterfront.

Five ferry wharves line the southern shore, with the railway station and bus interchange on elevated decks above; the Cahill Expressway crosses overhead. Cross to the eastern side for the Opera House and Bennelong Point, the western side for The Rocks and Campbells Cove. The waterfront walkway is paved and step-free, with globe lamps and black fencing along the water.

The location offers direct access to two of Sydney's most famous landmarks: the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, both visible from here. This central position makes it a natural focal point for the city's big harbor festivals and fireworks displays.
