What the numbers say

Sydney accounts for 24 notable places listed on OpenStreetMap in this cycle, all of them on August 2, 2026. Every row below is a record as its source published it — no estimate, no interpolation, and nothing carried over from a previous run.

That places Sydney 1 of 3 among Oceania, which is within a rounding error of the median for that group.

The most recent entries are Powerhouse Museum, Locomotive Workshop, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. This page is a view of public data and not a substitute for it — check the original before acting on any row.

That is 3 place types across 24 listings for Sydney. Attractions are the largest group at 8, museums the smallest at 8 — the mix is the map speaking, not this page: a type is whatever the OpenStreetMap record says it is.

The addresses OpenStreetMap files these places under touch 13 distinct localities, and they cluster: Forecourt holds 7 (Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Governor Marie Bashir Rose among them), North Wharf holds 4 (HMAS Vampire and HMAS Onslow among them) and 1 holds 2 (Bug and Little Nipper), while 9 localities carry one entry each — a rough sketch of where Sydney keeps its notable ground.
