Sydney has lost many of its interesting laneways over the years, particularly during the 1960s and 70s, when many were gobbled up by huge skyscraper developments. Now Sydney City Council wants to rediscover the lost laneways (see article). Rowe street was once the centre of "bohemian Sydney" and apparently boasted the first coffee shop. This trendy little hole-in-the-wall cafe is in Rowe Street, so it seems that a great start has been made!Tuesday 5 December 2006
