Darlinghurst
The coffee centre of Sydney. A cosmopolitan place that exudes urban cool, grunge and creativity.
Darlinghurst, Sydney (east)
Darlinghurst is one of the more colourful inner city suburbs of Sydney. It was once the domain of working class families living in small cottages, and has always had a colourful, gritty and slightly seedy edge. Prostitutes still walk the streets, but these days they share the footpath with young film makers, students, professionals, singles, families, gays and lesbians, and the alternative, arty, yoga set. The cafe scene here is big, but not pretentious. Darlo, as the locals call it, has some of the best coffee in Sydney. It’s cool to be seen sipping a short black on an upturned milk crate on Victoria Rd. Darllinghurst is home to the Trop Fest - Australia’s best known short film festival. It's also the centre of Sydney's Gay community with Oxford St hosting the annual Gay Mardi Gras, and several gay night clubs.
