This park at the northern tip of The Rocks offers unparalleled views across Sydney Cove. Dawes Point was the site of Australia's first fortified position, constructed in 1788 to protect the cove from foreign invaders.
Five cannons are all that remain from the former Dawes Point Battery. Manned until 1916, the fort was removed during construction of Sydney Harbour Bridge which now passes above the park. An archaeological dig was recently completed at the site.
