Why it's worth checking out
The Writers Walk sits along the foreshore at Circular Quay in the Sydney CBD. A 4.7 rating from 14 reviews marks it as a much-loved spot.
The appeal is a lovely tribute to literature in a gorgeous harbourside setting — the Writers Walk, a series of plaques honouring Australian writers and those who've written about the country, a genuine favourite for a thoughtful stroll along the famous Circular Quay with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge close by. It's a lovely, free outing.
Foreshore landmarks and their surrounds change over time, and the Quay is busiest in peak periods. Otherwise it's a free spot to enjoy any time you're at Circular Quay — bring your camera and take your time reading the plaques.
