History of the area

Woolloomooloo
Gracious Elizabeth Bay and Darlinghurst were a far cry from “Woolloomoolewd and Woolloomooloolethal”, as the waterfront district was dubbed by the Bulletin of 1905. [click here]


Darlinghurst
Darlinghurst, the new artistic quarter of Sydney, once had a reputation to rival that of Woolloomooloo, and was described in fearsome terms by The Truth in 1923 as “Dopehurst, Bottlehurst and Gunhurst”. [click here]


Potts Point
Pott’s Point was the original name of this district, named after its developer Mr Joseph Potts, an enterprising man who could never afford to live there himself. [click here]


Kings Cross
Kings Cross today buzzes with excitement, and on any night of the week is thronged with people enjoying the nightclubs, live music, dance how's and more than two hundred of the city's finest restaurants, bars and cafes. [click here]
