The Rocks, Historic district in Sydney, Australia.
The Rocks extends along Sydney Harbour's southern shore, featuring sandstone buildings, narrow lanes, and views of Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The area served as the landing site for the First Fleet in 1788, marking the beginning of European settlement in Australia.
The Rocks Discovery Museum presents four floors of exhibitions documenting the transformation from indigenous land to modern urban district.
Visitors can reach The Rocks by taking a train to Circular Quay station or riding ferry services that connect to multiple Sydney destinations.
The district contains Cadmans Cottage, constructed in 1816, which stands as the oldest remaining residential building in Sydney.
