Lonely Planet review

Convict labourers excavated this canal-like roadway connecting Sydney Cove and Millers Point on the other side of the peninsula. The work began in 1843 with hand tools, and was completed (with the aid of dynamite) in 1867. The cut sandstone frames scenery and greenery in a dramatic fashion and makes for a very atmospheric stroll.
