Win a Golden Ticket
Buy your Sydney Open Pass by 15 October for the chance to win a Golden Ticket to the special limited-capacity site, the Tank Stream. Don’t miss this exclusive chance to step inside this state heritage-listed tunnel built by convicts and stonemasons.
The Tank Stream

We know it today as the Tank Stream – an underground curiosity – but it was a vital source of water for the First Fleeters, and before them, the First Australians. Captain Arthur Phillip chose Circular Quay as the birthplace of the new colony, in part because of this freshwater stream running right into the harbour from a swamp at the western end of Hyde Park. Having supplied water and stone tools to the Gadigal people for tens of thousands of years, it would serve as the main water supply for the first 40 years of Sydney’s European life. But by 1826 it was so polluted that the colonists had stopped drinking from it, and in time it became a sewer, still emptying into the harbour. As the city grew up around the stream, it was covered over with sandstone blocks. Today the Tank Stream lies underground, partially encased in colonial-built tunnels.
