Woolloomooloo is a harbourside, inner-city
eastern suburb of Sydney, New South Wales,
Australia.
Woolloomooloo is 1.5 kilometres east of the
Sydney central business district, in the local
government area of the City of Sydney.
Woolloomooloo is in a low-lying, former
docklands area at the head of Woolloomooloo
Bay, on Sydney Harbour. The Domain sits to the
west, the locality of East Sydney is near the
south-west corner of Woolloomooloo and the
locality of Kings Cross is near the south-
east corner. Potts Point is immediately to the
east.
Long a poorer working-class district of Sydney,
it has changed only recently with gentrification
of the inner city areas of Sydney. The
redevelopment of the waterfront, particularly
the construction of the housing development
on the Finger Wharf, has caused major change.
Areas of public housing (Housing NSW aka
"Housing Commission") still exist in
Woolloomooloo .
