Woolloomooloo

Just around the corner from our apartment is the Woolloomooloo Wharf. This is the largest timber wharf in the world, built in 1915. It was used to ship wool, act as a staging point for WW2 troops, and it welcomed new immigrants. Naturally, today it is a high end hotel and restaurant. What was old is now high end...that seems to be a trend in Sydney.

Also, right next to the Wharf is the famous Harry's Café de Wheels. This is a popular place to eat Australian meat pies. It has been serving these surprising filling pies since 1945. This place is on the tourist hit list of Sydney.
