Pyrmont, New South Wales
From Freepedia
Pyrmont is an inner suburb of Sydney, Australia located on a peninsula directly across Darling Harbour from the central business district and linked to it by the pedestrian-only Pyrmont Bridge. It is serviced by buses and the Metro Light Rail.
Pyrmont was named before it was developed for its supposed similarity to Bad Pyrmont in Germany. Pyrmont was traditionally a working class industrial and port community, with a major sugar refinery. Almost all industrial function is gone from the area, and much high-rise residential development has taken place.
The Star City Casino dominates the Darling Harbour waterfront of Pyrmont. The suburb is also home to some well-known companies, such as Nokia Australia and Channel Ten. The Sydney Fish Market is also located within the area.
