To the southeast of central Sydney, the districts of Kings Cross, Woolloomooloo and Potts Point
offer a different atmosphere and character to the visitor. By day Kings Cross has a quaint, village-like
atmosphere with flower shops, coffee shops and charming houses on the back streets. By night, the area has
many lively bars and clubs and a somewhat seedy reputation.
The Potts Point waterfront is home to interesting streets, piers and wharf buildings. Tthere are several
notable attractions in the area, including the Elizabeth Bay House, Australia Museum and El Alamein Fountain. Although
a moderate distance from the centre, a walk from here, through the Royal Botanic Gardens and across to the
Rocks is an interesting way to see a little of everything.
