  • Review this attraction
  • Darlinghurst Road runs from the court house to the Alamein Fountain. “The Wall”, a sandstone wall running beside the gaol, is a nocturnal beat for male prostitutes. The pleasant Green Park is thought to be named after a former hangman at the gaol, Alexander “The Strangler” Green. Beyond the park is a colourful strip of terrace houses, hotels and cafés that ends at William Street. In the 1920s and 30s the area beyond William Street had some bohemian charm, but since WWII it has been Australia’s most notorious red-light district.
