Discover Sydney – The Rocks

The Rocks is an area to the Western side of Circular Quay, very much a tourist attraction nowadays but it’s had its share of trouble in the past, not least in the reign of a gang known as the Rocks Push – you should be ok now though as that was in the 1870s – nowadays the big cruise ships stop there.

Our Trixity trail around The Rocks area (imaginatively called Discover Sydney – The Rocks) is perfect for anyone who wants to spend 2-3 hours exploring and also testing their mental ability. Some of the clues on this trail are amongst my favourites, beware though, you do seem to spend most of your time walking uphill but it’s worth it for the views.

Another reason for choosing this trail if you’re exploring Sydney is that there seems to be an inordinate number of clues in pubs – it’s a good job you can stop the clock after every clue on all of our trails – so you can ensure you stay hydrated.

Explore Sydney

As you can imagine, when setting up three trails in Sydney and living in Queensland there’s a lot of travelling back and forth. Fortunately for us we have friends who live there and have been very helpful in providing us with accommodation and their testing services too.

Obviously, we get dinner whilst we’re there but we couldn’t have done it without them, so thank you Tracy & Blake x. When we’re millionaires we will remember you …. we may not still be in touch, but we’ll remember you! (I’m joking – honest).

On our last trip back, I managed to get quite a good photo out of the window as we left Sydney – not bad considering it was just with my phone.

The other thing about this photo is that I can see parts of all three of our Trixity trails, Discover Sydney, Discover Sydney Botanic & Discover Sydney – The Rocks …. next time you’re in Sydney and you have 2-3 hours spare, give one a try, I promise you it’s a great way to explore Sydney.

The ‘Discover Sydney’ trail

One of the three Discover Sydney trails and probably my favourite …. but don’t tell the others. This trail starts in the lovely Darling Harbour area and wends its way through the city – but I shouldn’t tell you too much about which way it goes as I don’t want to spoil the fun as you explore Sydney.

I can tell you that it’s probably the least physically taxing of the three trails so if you were looking for a nice walk without any hilly bits then this is probably the one for you. I think it has a nice combination of the different types of clues that we have set over our different trails, there are some that are purely observational and a handful of ones that need a little extra thought and working out.

We did this trail with some friend of ours who live in Sydney just before we launched. They had the advantage of ‘local knowledge’ so knew where they were heading most of the time – but it was nice to see them ‘trip-up’ on one of the tricky clues (insert evil laugh).
