The Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf on Wooloomooloo Bay is the largest timbered-piled building in the world. The wharf and warehouse building were originally completed in 1915. This area was a working port until the 1970s. The wharf was redeveloped in the 1990s into a hotel, apartments, restaurants and marina. This boardwalk linked to the wharf by these little bridges provides an extended walkway.

Wooloomooloo looks like a great place. And it's got an awesome name!
ReplyDeleteIt's incredible. My boyfriend at the time (an architect) was very active in saving this wharf. Can you believe this were almost destroyed? Pruxxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely harbour!
ReplyDeleteWooloomooloo - that's an interesting name!
I rarely want to leave Melbourne to emigrate to Sydney but occasionally I change my mind. Your boardwalk linked to the wharf, marina and restaurants provides an extended walkway and sundeck for the two things I love doing most - sunbaking and eating at fish (i.e non-meat) restaurants
ReplyDeleteFlotsam Friends, I'm sure most Sydneysiders would now appreciate this wonderful piece of achitecture and are grateful it was put to a new use and not demolished.
ReplyDeleteMmmm I've always wanted to stop there since it has been remodelled.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely!
