Barangaroo & Millers Point
Millers Point and Barangaroo are both inner-city, harbourside suburbs of Sydney. Millers Point is by far the older of the two, founded shortly after European settlement as 'Cockle Bay Point'. Changed in the 1820s to 'Jack, the Miller's Point' (Jack Leighton operated a mill here).
Barangaroo was originally a fishing and hunting area for the Cadigal people. After settlement it became 'Darling Harbour East' (most famous for 'The Hungry Mile'), becoming the suburb of Barangaroo in 2007.

Millers Point, Sydney, NSW, Australia
One of the remaining terraces in Merriman Street (named after Sydney City Council Alderman James Merriman). Prior to 1875, it was known as Crown Road.
The terraces themselves were constructed 1830s and originally occupied by maritime workers from the surrounding area. Those on the other side of the street were demolished in 1970 when the MSB chopped off both the western and northern sections of the street. Also lost was the superb Dalgety Wool Store.
