Walsh Bay, Heritage bight in Sydney, Australia.

Walsh Bay extends into Port Jackson with five finger wharves, connecting to brick-and-stone shore structures along the western edge of Sydney Cove.

The bay received its name in 1918 during a major wharfage modernization project led by engineer Henry Deane Walsh to accommodate steamships and motor vehicles.

The Sydney Theatre Company, Sydney Dance Company, and Bangarra Dance Theatre perform regularly in venues across Walsh Bay's renovated waterfront structures.

Visitors can reach Walsh Bay by walking along the waterfront from The Rocks, passing under Sydney Harbour Bridge or through the Barangaroo foreshore.

The original cargo port infrastructure from the 1920s has been preserved and transformed into theaters, restaurants, and residential spaces while maintaining maritime elements.
