Man O'War Steps - Opera House

Macquarie Street, Man-O-War Jetty, Sydney Opera House, Sydney, 2000

The Man O'War Steps are situated right next to the iconic and beautiful Sydney Opera House and this wharf is a popular pickup and drop off point for that very reason.

It is also surrounded by some of the greatest sights of the Harbour, with the Royal Botanic Gardens situated nearby and all manner of restaurants, bars and tourist attractions within easy walking distance.

Commemoration
The Man-O`War steps and plaque pays tribute to the importance of the steps as the landing and embarkation point for men of the British and Australian fleets for 150 years.

It also honours those from the Royal Australian Navy who served during World War One, World War Two, Korea, Malaya and Vietnam and did not return. The plaque was rededicated on the 13th April 2003.

History
The Man O'War Steps that the wharf is named after are a tourist attraction in their own right and with good reason. The steps are situated next to the wharf itself at the western end of Farm Cove, which sits adjacent to the Royal Botanic Gardens and just south of the Sydney Opera House where Fort Macquarie once stood. The steps are a small feature that you might miss if you didn't know what you were looking for, but they hold a very special historic significance.

The current steps were reconstructed in 1973 to coincide with the opening of the Opera House, but the original steps were built during the time of Lachlan Macquarie (indeed, the steps are the only known structures left from that era) in the early 19th century when a stone jetty and the titular steps were built to allow movement between the land and the Man O'War ship, which was anchored in Sydney Harbour. For the next 150 years, the steps were used by members of the Australian and British fleets right up until the Vietnam war. At the steps, you'll find a plaque honouring all of the men who left from the steps and didn't return.

First opening in 1816, it is the oldest garden of its kind in Australia and is regarded as one of the most important botanical institutions in the world.

That fact, coupled with its proximity to the Opera House, makes it one of the most popular attractions in Sydney. The gardens occupy roughly 74 acres and feature a vast array of fauna and unique architectural structures. Government House sits at the centre of the gardens and has been the official residence of the Governor of NSW (New South Wales) for almost 200 years.
