What to expect from Sydney in June

Sydney in June means winter is coming, but the city still has pleasant temperatures from 10°c to 18°c. The cooler weather mixed with warm indoor spaces makes it a wonderful time to explore the historic heart of the city, such as The Rocks. Check out Sydney’s colonial past through its beautiful cobblestone streets, historic buildings and welcoming atmosphere.

Rockin’ The Rocks

A visit to The Rocks is like a journey back in time, where you can walk the same paths as convicts, sailors and settlers from centuries past. The Rocks is one of Sydney’s oldest neighbourhoods and it’s definitely best experienced through one of the many guided history tours available.

These amazing tours will teach you all about Sydney’s early days and the lives of those who built the city. One of the most popular ways to explore The Rocks is through a walking tour, where outgoing guides take you through narrow laneways and hidden courtyards, sharing tales of Australia’s first European settlers and the many hardships they faced.

You’ll learn about everything from the city’s convict origins, to struggles during the plague and the redevelopment that thankfully saved this phenomenal area from demolition in the 70s. Every building and street corner is full of history and you’ll love the well-preserved Georgian architecture and the pubs that have been serving locals for over a century.

If you love a bit of mystery, there’s a ghost tour that’s a totally thrilling option. The tales of hauntings and weird occurrences in the old buildings and alleyways will chill you to the bone. This spine-tingling experience mixes fact with folklore and gives you a look at this gorgeous area after dark.

A Taste of Sydney

While at The Rocks, you can check out the weekend markets to find unique arts and crafts, or enjoy a meal at one of the historic pubs, many of which have been serving patrons for over 150 years. There’s also a few visual delights this month, like Vivid Sydney and the Sydney Film Festival that will keep you entertained. Our Things to Do in Sydney page is full of fun activities too.

Travelling during another month? Check out what to expect from Sydney in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.
