The policy embraces the development of a directional signage system to provide precise information at key decision points throughout the public domain. It includes designs for elements of the signage system and details such as materials, finish, colours and graphics. The Wayfinding Signage Technical Manual document is volume 3 of the three volumes which make up The Rocks Signage Strategy and should be read in conjunction with volume 1 Signage Policy and volume 2 Commercial Signage Technical Manual. The Wayfinding Signage Technical Manual was originally adopted by the Authority in 2001 and was revised in 2004 and 2009. The Rocks Signage Strategy Wayfinding Signage Technical Manual 3 2 Principles for wayfinding Wayfinding is described as the The key principles underlying the Integration strategies people use to find their way wayfinding strategy are: The wayfinding technical manual should in unfamiliar or new settings, based on integrate with, and be visually related their perceptual and cognitive abilities Legibility to existing and proposed signage and habits.

  • From Its First Occupation by Europeans After 1788, the Steep Slopes on The
    The Rocks The Rocks is the historic neighbourhood situated on the western side of Sydney Cove. The precinct rises steeply behind George Street and the shores of West Circular Quay to the heights of Observatory Hill. It was named the Rocks by convicts who made homes there from 1788, but has a much older name, Tallawoladah, given by the first owners of this country, the Cadigal. Tallawoladah, the rocky headland of Warrane (Sydney Cove), had massive outcrops of rugged sandstone, and was covered with dry schlerophyll forest of pink-trunked angophora, blackbutt, red bloodwood and Sydney peppermint. The Cadigal probably burnt the bushland here to keep the country open. Archaeological evidence shows that they lit cooking fires high on the slopes, and shared meals of barbequed fish and shellfish. Perhaps they used the highest places for ceremonies and rituals; down below, Cadigal women fished the waters of Warrane in bark canoes.1 After the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Tallawoladah became the convicts’ side of the town. While the governor and civil personnel lived on the more orderly easterm slopes of the Tank Stream, convict women and men appropriated land on the west. Some had leases, but most did not. They built traditional vernacular houses, first of wattle and daub, with thatched roofs, later of weatherboards or rubble stone, roofed with timber shingles. They fenced off gardens and yards, established trades and businesses, built bread ovens and forges, opened shops and pubs, and raised families. They took in lodgers – the newly arrived convicts - who slept in kitchens and skillions.
