You'll find a blend of Sydney's best at The Rocks: traditional handicrafts with cutting edge design, a classic French patisserie, the oldest pub in the country, panoramic harbour views and narrow sandstone-paved alleys. And a wonderful way to experience this ever-evolving district is to set aside a day (or two) and go shopping! You'll find most stores on George, Playfair and Argyle Streets, although there are plenty out-of-the-way gems. For an iconic Australian purchase try Done Art and Design, Opal Fields for Australian jewellery, or the sheepskin shops for all manner of things made from Australian wool.
