The Royal Botanic Garden, the second half of this walk's name, traces its official founding to 13 June 1816 — the date traditionally used to mark its birth, chosen because it was the day Mrs Macquarie's Road, the carriage route built for the Governor's wife, was completed around the harbourside Domain. That makes it the oldest scientific institution in Australia, established the year before the colony's first Colonial Botanist, Charles Fraser, was even appointed in 1817; the garden only gained its 'Royal' title much later, in 1959.
The Rocks, the walk's other half, sits on the opposite side of Sydney's founding story. When the First Fleet landed in 1788, the colony's officials settled the more orderly eastern bank of the Tank Stream, while the steep sandstone slopes to the west — quarried for the very stone that gives the area its name — became the convicts' quarter, worked in leg irons to raise the first permanent buildings by hand. Narrow lanes and surviving sandstone terraces from that era still shape the walking route today, long before the area's 20th-century reinvention as a harbourside tourist precinct.
The walk closes at the Sydney Opera House forecourt, itself the product of a very different kind of drama: Danish architect Jørn Utzon won the international design competition in 1957 with a concept that intrigued jurors like Eero Saarinen, but resigned from the project in 1966, nine years before completion, after repeated disputes with the NSW Department of Public Works. The building that eventually opened in 1973 — and that this walk takes in from outside — was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007, a rare honour for a structure completed within living memory.
