Darling Harbour, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Darling Harbour, a locality of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is a large recreational and pedestrian precinct that is situated on western outskirts of the Sydney central business district. The locality extends northwards from Chinatown, along both sides of Cockle Bay to King Street Wharf on the east, and to the suburb of Pyrmont on the west. Cockle Bay is just one of the waterways that makes up Darling Harbour, which opens north into the much larger Port Jackson.
The precinct and its immediate surroundings are administered independently of the local government area of the City of Sydney, by a New South Wales state government statutory authority, the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority.
[edit] History
Darling Harbour is named after Lieutenant-General Ralph Darling, who was Governor of New South Wales from 1825 to 1831. It was originally part of the commercial port of Sydney, including the Darling Harbour Railway Goods Yard. During the Great Depression, the eastern part of Darling Harbour became known as The Hungry Mile, a reference to the waterside workers searching for jobs along the wharves. [1]
By the mid-to-late 1980s it had become largely derelict and was redeveloped as a pedestrian and tourist precinct as an initiative of then New South Wales Minister for Public Works, Laurie Brereton. The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre at Darling Harbour was a venue of the 2000 Summer Olympic Games and a key meeting venue of APEC Australia 2007.

[edit] Redevelopment
East Darling Harbour is part of a massive urban renewal development. Plans for the 18-hectare site include half business and residential developmenst, while the other half to be reserved for open public space. The state government of NSW declared plans for "Globe Street", a street designed to become Australia's and Asia Pacific's centre for corporate trade (styled on New York's "Wall Street" district). The urban renewal development is not expected to be completed until 2020. East Darling Harbour will be known as Barangaroo.
This area was the site of the Sydney Port Authority and currently features an Overseas Passenger Terminal (Wharf 8) which is mainly used by Pacific Dawn (ship) which is the P&O Australia fleet which was previsouly served by Pacific Sun (ship) which is now based in Brisbane. MS Sun Princess which is operaterd by Princess Cruises also uses this as a home port.
[edit] Pop Culture
[edit] Television
Darling Harbour is the location of the castmates house on MTV's reality TV show, The Real World: Sydney, which aired in late 2007. The house has a large "Darling Harbour" sign along its edge, and the World Tower high rise building can be seen behind it. The Seven Network's Sydney production studios are where interior shots for Home and Away are filmed, as well as other shows such as Larry Emdur & Laura Csortan's Wheel Of Fortune (Late 2005-2006).
The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie, shot in Sydney, had some scenes filmed in Darling Harbor as well. Seven's Saturday morning TV Music Show "Eclipse Music TV" is filmed weekly at the precinct's shopping centre, Harbourside.
