Government Wharf - Circular Quay 

Alfred Street - Circular Quay, Near Loftus Street


In 1788, When The First Fleet Anchored In Port Kackson, The Head Of Sydney Cove Was V Shaped, Bisected By The Tank Stream, Which Entered The South Side Of The Cove Where Present Day Pitt Street Is. Surveyor James Meehan's Plan Of Sydney Showed Today's Alfred Street Covered With Water at HighTide. It Was Here That The Government Wharf Was Built On The Water Frontage Now Occupied By The Paragon Hotel.
