LOCAL AREA
King Street Wharf is a spectacular Sydney Harbour waterfront location, which is close to the central CBD. King Street Wharf is famous for its bars, restaurants and active nightlife.
King Street Wharf has a colourful history and was previously called “The Tumbalong” by the original inhabitants – a place to find seafood. Since the European settlement, the place was called Cockle Bay. The precinct was officially named Darling Harbour in 1826, after its Governor Ralph Darling. In 1855, a railway goods line was built into the Darling Harbour mud flats which later became a hugely successful and commercial precinct of finger wharfs, warehouses, markets and saw mills.
In late 1996, a master plan was developed by the NSW government to convert wharf 9 and 10 into a dedicated multi-functional precinct, integrating Sydney Harbour charter vessels with a dining and residential precinct. Today, King Street Wharf boasts some of Sydney’s leading restaurants and most popular bars.
