| LocationOriginally a prestigious address where the wealthy built their villas, such as Elizabeth Bay House, Kings Cross later became the haunt of bohemian artists and writers and a ‘rest and recreation’ destination for servicemen. Today, ‘The Cross’, along with neighbouring Potts Point and Elizabeth Bay, is Australia’s most densely populated district – a famous nightlife and dining area and a magnet for tourists and locals. Down the hill, the once working-class area of Woolloomooloo contains delightful terrace houses and the Finger Wharf, now transformed into a glamorous hotel, dining and apartment complex.
