Located inside the Joan Harriss Cruise Pavilion on the Sydney waterfront — the same building that welcomes cruise-ship passengers — this centre also serves drive-in travellers. The world's largest fiddle stands directly outside, making it impossible to miss.

What you'll find

Local maps, restaurant recommendations, event schedules, public restrooms, and free Wi-Fi. Staff can help with last-minute accommodation searches and Cabot Trail logistics. The boardwalk outside is one of the best places to stretch legs in Sydney with views of the harbour.
