*************

Darling Harbour is a harbour adjacent to the city centre of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia that is made up of a large recreational and pedestrian precinct that is situated on western outskirts of the Sydney central business district.

Originally named Long Cove, the locality extends northwards from Chinatown, along both sides of Cockle Bay to King Street Wharf 3 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 Property NSW.

Darling Harbour is accessible via various modes of public transport. The precinct is served by the Dulwich Hill Line of Sydney's light rail network, with access via Paddy's Markets, Convention, Exhibition and Pyrmont Bay stations.[7] Ferry wharves including Barangaroo and Pyrmont Bay provide access to the Inner Harbour ferry services to Circular Quay and other suburbs. The Goods Line is a park and pedestrian pathway connecting Darling Harbour to Railway Square and Central station. The nearest train station is Town Hall.

The Darling Harbour precinct is home to a number of major public facilities and attractions, including:[5]

Harbourside Shopping Centre, which includes Kingpin Bowling Alley (the only bowling alley in Darling Harbour), M9 Laser Skirmish, as well as Australia's first retail Jet flight simulator.
