The Sydney Opera House is Australia's most recognisable landmark, its sail-shaped shells rising over Bennelong Point beside Circular Quay and the Harbour Bridge. Millions come to photograph it, tour the interiors, dine on the forecourt, or attend performances. The venue's cloakroom is reserved for ticketed performance attendees and does not accept large suitcases, so sightseers and cruise or train travelers arriving with luggage have nowhere on site to leave bags. Because the forecourt and Royal Botanic Garden walks involve a lot of ground, dragging a suitcase is impractical. Storage partners around Circular Quay, a short walk away, let you drop bags securely and explore the Opera House, the Botanic Garden, and The Rocks hands-free.
