Question: Where Is Barangaroo?
Barangaroo, northwest of Sydney city centre, was the site of a number of events during the six-day celebrations of World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney.
Answer:
Barangaroo lies just north of Darling Harbour's King St Wharf and was formerly known as East Darling Harbour, northwest of Sydney city centre.
The name Barangaroo honors an important indigenous woman from Sydney's early history, said to have been a colorful and powerful figure in the story of the first colonisation of Australia.
Barangaroo was also the wife of Bennelong, after whom Bennelong Point — the site of the Sydney Opera House — is named.
