We acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation as the First Peoples and Traditional Custodians of this land. We offer our respect to their Elders both past and present.
We acknowledge this place is named after Barangaroo, a leader of the Cammeraygal people and wife of Bennelong of the Wangal people, who played a significant role within her community and that of the early British colony.

Located at the northern end of Barangaroo Reserve is Marrinawi Cove. A beautiful and sheltered spot located at the northern end of Barangaroo Reserve. Sculpted sandstone line the cove, and is popular with locals and tourist for bathing, swimming, and snorkelling. There is safety netting that encloses the swimming area, signage and shower. Wear suitable footwear.
Created as a natural environment, with oysters, algae and other marine life, care should be taken with the slippery and uneven surfaces.
Marrinawi comes from the Sydney Aboriginal word for large canoe, and was used to describe the vessels of the First Fleet into Sydney Harbour. The Gadigal are a clan of the Eora Nation, who lived and used this area, canoeing and fishing.
The Wulugul Walk is a 11 km harbourside walk that connects Woolloomooloo to the Anzac Bridge.
Public art and exhibitions also feature heavily through Barangaroo (see the Art Barangaroo link in the footer). Also check out Mermer Waiskeder (Stories of the Moving Tide) public art work in Exchange Square (adjacent to Tower Three).
The following Rainbow Walk, Barangaroo is a 100 m walk as it curves around the foreshore to Watermans Cove and part of the Sydney WorldPride 2023 celebration events. Watermans Cove features a crescent shaped cantilevered waterfront walkway, designed by landscape architect Grant Associates in Barangaroo, Sydney.
