G'day Charley,

JennieG noted: "The original name for Darling Harbour was Cockle Bay, if that helps."

Strictly speaking, Cockle Bay is the southern end of Darling Harbour ... where all the Darling Harbour tourist and commercial development (Harbourside Festival Market Place!) is. The James Craig moors in the real shipping harbour, which is correctly called Darling Harbour ... and the Fish Markets are on the nor-east side of Blackwattle Bay.

I haven't bought my fish supplies from there lately, but the Markets are made up of lots of small, private - and largely Mediterranean-owned shops. I couldn't really say I know of a generic name for the workers, male or female ... not in English, anyway!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
