From the Sydney World / Places

The Domain

Open lawns and mature trees between Macquarie Street and Woolloomooloo form Sydney's historic civic gathering ground and a practical green link across the centre.

The Domain

Why go

The Domain matters as public space more than as a garden attraction. Its lawns have hosted political meetings, concerts and demonstrations, and today they connect the Art Gallery, State Library and Royal Botanic Garden. Cross it to understand the scale of Sydney's civic landscape, but check event closures before relying on a particular route through the lawns.

  • Its lawns have hosted political meetings, concerts and demonstrations, and today they connect the Art Gallery.
