Dawes Point, The Wharf Theatre

Walsh Bay, on Sydney Harbour, stretches between Dawes Point and Millers Point. The Walsh Bay wharves were originally part of Sydney's port facilities. The Wharf Theatre opened in 1984 in the redeveloped warehouse building on Pier 4 and Pier 5. It contains two theatres: Wharf 1 has 339 seats and Wharf 2 has 205 seats. It is the home base for the Sydney Theatre Company and the Sydney Dance Company. It also features The Wharf Restaurant at this end of the building.

Love the pictures of the wharf. I'll have to show them to my DH. He has been to Sydney by ship so maybe he's seen this view in person.

Thanks for checking my blog, always nice when new people stop by.

YOu all have so much down on the water...so many places to go...so many walks to take. All of your posts these past days have been wonderful. I really like the architecture of this particular building. It is lovely. The water is beautiful. genie
