WYD08 Pope Benedict XVI Arrival

Pope Benedict XVI Arrival at Barangaroo (16 July 2008)

Barangaroo is an inner-city suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is located on the north-western edge of the Sydney central business district and the south-western end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It is part of the local government area of the City of Sydney.

Barangaroo was an intiative of the Government of New South Wales to provide more recreational area for a growing Sydney population.

In 2008, before the site was redeveloped, Barangaroo was a World Youth Day 2008 site used for the opening mass for an estimated 150,000 people, concerts, a re-enactment of the Stations of the Cross and for the arrival of Pope Benedict XVI to Sydney.
