Finger Wharf, Heritage wharf in Woolloomooloo, Australia

The Finger Wharf extends 410 meters into Woolloomooloo Bay, featuring twin-story sheds that flank a central roadway designed for efficient cargo movement.

Between 1910 and 1915, engineer Henry D. Walsh supervised the construction of this wharf, replacing Sydney's first fish market to create a wool export center.

The structure transformed from an industrial port into a modern precinct, housing restaurants, galleries, residential apartments, and the waterfront Ovolo Woolloomooloo Hotel.

Located 15 minutes from Sydney's business district, the wharf offers marina services, dining options, and parking facilities near Kings Cross train station.

The structure contains the last remaining electrically operated goods conveyors in New South Wales and several original electric lifts from the early 1900s.
