PLEASE NOTE: This route should only take you 10 minutes to walk, but it is up a lot of stairs, so if you don’t feel up
to it, catch a taxi or use the Wynyard Station route on next page.

The Rocks is a unique part of Sydney and has many hidden pockets accessible through pedestrian laneways
and staircases. Follow these instructions for the most direct pedestrian access to the Sydney Harbour YHA.
Exit Circular Quay train station on the harbour side. Turn left and walk to First Fleet Park. Walk across the park and
up the stairs to George Street. Cross over George Street at the pedestrian crossing to the right of the stairs and turn
left. Walk a few metres to Globe Street (which is now all paved and does not have traffic). Turn right into Globe Street
and walk through the paved street up to more stairs. Walk up the stairs to Harrington Street. Cross the road. Turn
right and walk down the street until you reach a set of stairs to the left of the footpath that go further up the hill. There
is a sign at the base of the stairs that directs you to Susannah Place Museum. Walk all the way up these stairs – there
are two flights - until you come to Gloucester Street. The Sydney Harbour YHA is directly in front of you.
'(*
If you are arriving before dusk, walk straight up the stairs along Cribbs Lane and follow the signs to reception. If you
are arriving after dark, turn right and walk up Gloucester Street (Cribbs Lane is closed at night). Once you reach
Cumberland Street, turn left and walk until you reach Sydney Harbour YHA’s entrance.
You made it!! Come on in and enjoy Sydney Harbour YHA...
