The Neighborhood:
Famous for its shopping, pubs and bars and most of all village atmosphere, Balmain was once a rough and ready working-class enclave thats best known as a busy ship building industry, power station and the iconic Colgate Palmolive warehouse. Much of the precinct's historic roots have been retained including the award-winning framing of an old oil refinery at Ballast Point Park which forms part of a extensive walkway on the edge of the harbour with fantastic views - particularly for the city's world famous New Years Eve fireworks. More than a dozen pubs come alive at night with a wide array of bands, DJs to suit all tastes. In the warmer months, a must visit is Australia's oldest pool - the Dawn Fraser Baths - where you can swim in a historic tidal flow salt water setting. There's also a wide array of shops and cafes along Darling Street with great Italian, Middle East, Japanese and modern Australian fare all within a few blocks walk.
Getting Around:
Balmain people are terrific: forward thinking and contemporary, a little bit bohemian and always happy to chat. I like the buzzy scene here. I treasure being able to walk everywhere, we walk to visit friends and to the shops, cafes, restaurants, parks and playgrounds. We love catching ferries too.
