Free swimming spot in the harbour! Shark netting installed. Free showers as well, but no other facilities. Cafes are close by, however.

Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel
Established in 1842 in this very sandstone building on the corner of Kent Street and Argyle Street, just far enough away from the Rocks to avoid the worst of the tourist crush, the Lord Nelson is Sydney's oldest pub that has been continually operating in the same premises. They're particularly well known for their microbrews including their flagship Three Sheets pale ale and Nelson's Blood porter. The downstairs pub is popular and has a decent range of food like pies, while the bistro upstairs has fancier fare. Popular, but usually not so crowded on a weeknight that you can't get a table.

Garrison Church
The colony's first military church, it is still an active Anglican church.

Bridge Climb
You can climb to the top of the arch of the bridge. For those who are good with heights and enjoy a spectacular view of the harbour, there are organised climbs to the top of the bridge. This climb is more demanding than climbing a set of stairs, although it is not so demanding as the name implies. You will be fitted with special climbing suits and secured by safety tethers, you must be 10 years old or over to take the climb. The climb takes 3½ hours and a group leaves every 10 minutes. You can ascend during the day, at twilight and at night. Book your climb as early as possible as the climb is very popular. Loose items including cameras are prohibited on the climb; Bridge Climb staff will take a photo of you, but you may not take photographs yourself.
Standard rates are around $360 adults and $160 children, with extra cost for special times
