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.

There is free unrestricted parking on our street which is widely available. A bus stop 50m from the house gives direct access to the city in under 10 mins.

Other Things to Note:
There is free unlimited street parking on our street - Mullens St.
