Just beneath the towering expanse of Sydney Harbour Bridge is the charming, historic area known as the Rocks. It is where the first settlers made their homes and it reminded me of the East End of London, where rows of neat brick terraced houses once warmed your heart with their cosy rooms and smoking chimneys.

Today the Rocks is a tourist destination with smart cafes, quaint shops and market stalls. One in particular caught my eye. It was all of a bustle with a team of sensibly dressed women, working like fiends rolling out nectarine sized pieces of dough with what looked like thin broom handles. They were making gozleme. A Turkish flatbread stuffed with simple tasty ingredients.
