The Rocks Experience magazine
Welcome to the spring issue of The Rocks Experience.
In this issue we celebrate life's good times and show you how The Rocks can turn any gathering or party into an unforgettable event. We also look back at some of Sydney's defining moments in history and ask why it is that, whenever the whole city gathers in the streets to mark a moment, The Rocks is always in the thick of it!
Turn to page 6 to discover why we love to celebrate occasions and special events with friends and family and what it is that maximises the feel-good factor. There are also practical tips on how to throw the perfect party-from finding the right venue to decorations, gifts and fun for kids-no matter what your budget. Plus we talk to some of The Rocks' catering experts to reveal the secrets of delicious, easy-to-eat party fare.
With the chill of winter giving way to spring, don't miss the upcoming regional showcases at The Rocks Farmers' Market which will tantalise your tastebuds and Markets by Moonlight which kicks off in November.
As Sydney returns to its sunny, outdoor, life-loving best, put away your wintercoat and get amongst it in The Rocks this spring.

The Rocks Positioning Statement
Amidst the hustle and bustle of Sydney's CBD is The Rocks, the place where Sydney began. The Rocks is unique: it is a village for local residents, a workplace for creative businesses, an oasis for workers, a regular part of life for Sydneysiders, a must-see tourist destination for visitors and a retail shopping centre with more than 70 shops.
Locals and tourists alike-The Rocks attracts, on average, more than 14 million visitors each year-are drawn to the area by a real sense of something special, an intimate lifestyle in a modern fast moving city.
As custodians of The Rocks, Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority is committed to making The Rocks a sustainable place; a vibrant place offering a diversity of experiences for all to enjoy while we protect and enhance its heritage and nurture its commercial success.
