View of Barangaroo

From the top of Observatory Hill, the view of Sydney’s skyline, features one of its most iconic towers, and also of one of the city’s newer districts: Barangaroo. This area’s redevelopment, which is still ongoing, began in 2012 and has led to the construction of a park, residential buildings, a cultural space, and a casino, which are soon to be easily accessible via a new metro station. This is a truly historic site, as according to archeological findings, it used to be home to Aboriginal communities who lived here around 6,000 years ago. Today, the area has been transformed into a lively district, only a stone’s throw away from Sydney Harbour, and boasting some of the city’s most modern buildings.
