Why locals recommend it
You couldn’t find a better place for this two-hour Aboriginal Heritage Walking Tour: Barangaroo Reserve was previously a shipping port and it’s been transformed back into a beautiful park—based on what the headland looked like before Europeans arrived. Stories of local Aboriginal history are told to the theme of the city’s changing landscape as you walk. You can easily take this tour more than once—there’s a range of Aboriginal tour guides and they all offer something different. In keeping with the culture, only the female guides can talk about Barangaroo, while Clarence is a well-known local identity and native-plant expert. They’re all excellent.

Our newest harbour foreshore reserve. Still waiting for the trees to soften it, but if you're up for a decent walk, it gives you a good vantage point of the Harbour. Carry on to the Malaya for lunch.

Both were helpful to the British colonialization of yet another country, to their own demise. This land was originally for hunting, fishing and congregating.
