During archaeological excavations associated with the construction of the Wynyard Walk pedestrian link in mid-2014, a small Aboriginal campsite was located. The campsite consisted of several Aboriginal stone artefacts located in natural soil underneath layers of European occupation. The Wynyard Walk campsite was located on the ridge between Cockle Bay (Darling Harbour) and Sydney Cove (Circular Quay).
