Sydney: Self-Guided Audio Walk Through Glebe's Waterfront Edge

This self-guided audio walk explores Sydney’s bayside edge around Glebe and Pyrmont, blending parkland, water views, local history, and a few surprising landmarks. It suits first-time visitors who want an easy introduction to a less hectic side of the city, with plenty to look at along the foreshore.

Your route begins at Jubilee Park, where light rail tracks meet open green space and playing fields. From there, you follow the water past the canal, into Bicentennial Park with its lake, trees, trails, and observation platform, then continue through Pope Paul VI Reserve and Writers Walk. The path carries you along Glebe Point and the shoreline, past working waterfront details, lookouts, and the striking Walter Burley Griffin Incinerator, a rare piece of early modern industrial design.

The walk then curves by The Boatshed Pyrmont and a timber boardwalk before reaching the edge of Wentworth Park and finishing at Sydney Fish Market. Along the way, the most memorable moments come from the mix of rustling reeds, boats on the water, wide harbour glimpses, plaques celebrating Australian writers, and the final burst of colour and aroma at one of Sydney’s best-known seafood destinations.
