Woolloomooloo, Harbor district in Sydney, Australia.
This waterfront neighborhood spans 0.5 square kilometers along Woolloomooloo Bay, connecting Sydney's central business district to the harbor area.
The area received its first land grant in 1793 to John Palmer, who established Woolloomooloo House and began cattle farming operations.
The name originates from Aboriginal language, referring to either a place for whiting fish or an area where water runs across rocks.
The district connects to central Sydney through multiple transportation options, including the 311 bus route between Eddy Avenue and Millers Point.
The Finger Wharf, constructed for maritime operations, now houses residential spaces, dining establishments, and accommodation facilities.
