About the area
Down the Hill from Taylor Square
Darlinghurst is one of Sydney's oldest and most densely built suburbs, its identity still shaped by Darlinghurst Gaol, the sandstone prison built between 1822 and 1841 and now home to the National Art School. Oxford Street runs through the suburb's heart, home to Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade each year.
St John's Anglican Church on Darlinghurst Road, designed by Edmund Blacket, is considered one of the finest Gothic Revival parish churches in Australia. Darlinghurst Courthouse at Taylor Square, built in 1842, still operates today, sitting right beside the old gaol walls.
It's a confirmed 1.2km, a 3-minute drive, from Darlinghurst to the Darlinghurst tennis courts at Rushcutters Bay Park.
