Darling Harbour Carousel, Heritage carousel in Darling Harbour, Australia.

The Darling Harbour Carousel features thirty wooden horses and two replica vintage cars beneath a protective pavilion in Sydney's waterfront district.

The carousel was imported to Australia in 1894 by Thomas Kale and underwent modifications in 1910 to enable the horses to perform galloping motions.

The carousel represents a significant part of Sydney's entertainment history, appearing at the Royal Easter Show from the 1920s through 1939.

Located under the Western Distributor concourse, the carousel operates daily during school holidays and weekends throughout the regular year.

The carousel maintains its original steam boiler and engine system, along with a Gebruder Bruder pneumatic band organ featuring two drums.
