Yes. My hotel was Sebel Pier One, adjacent to the Rocks. I picked the area specifically, because it looked like a beautiful historic area with nice restaurants and pubs and close to the Quay. It worked out well. My hotel room window was right at the base of the bridge.
I was able to walk to the Quay, Museum and Opera House. There are a bunch of fine restaurants all around the quay, but the service was terrible in general.
Had my first Aussie beer at a pub in Bondi. Victoria Bitter. Decent, but certainly not the best. My number one pick by far was Cooper's Sparkling Ale. I cannot get it here, but there's a distributor who imports it to California. Does this mean I'll have to go all the way back to Australia to have some again???
