Circular Quay is Sydney's harbourside transport hub, where the ferry wharves, a train station, light rail, and the Overseas Passenger Terminal cruise dock meet between the Opera House and The Rocks. It is the launching point for ferries to Manly, Taronga Zoo, and Watsons Bay, and a starting spot for harbour cruises and Harbour Bridge walks. The wharves and cruise terminal have no public left-luggage lockers, so cruise passengers with a gap before boarding, ferry day-trippers, and travelers between accommodation have nowhere on site to store bags. Storage partners a short walk from the wharves around Alfred Street let you drop suitcases securely, then take a ferry, walk to the Opera House, or explore The Rocks without your luggage.
