Perched up on Observatory
Hill above
The Rocks is the Sydney Observatory and built in 1858.
The hill commands
a fine view of the
harbour. It is the
site of a former fortification,
with the remnants
of a wall constructed
in 1804. The oldest
observatory in Australia.
Look through the telescopes
or visit the exhibitions
that shows how Aboriginal
people used the stars
for navigation, fly
through space in the
3D Space Theatre and
enjoy the gardens.
At night time view
the night sky through
the historical and
modern telescopes.
