For those just north of the bridge, you can also take a nice scenic stroll across the Sydney Harbour Bridge and find yourself in The Rocks in no time. Coming from Wynyard Station? Jump on the train or light rail to Circular Quay, or simply take a 10 minute walk from Wynyard down George Street and get a little extra fresh air.
