Harry's Cafe de Wheels
A historic pie cart founded in 1938 on the shores of Woolloomooloo Bay, famous for its "Tiger Pie" and listed on the National Trust of New South Wales register.
Harry "Tiger" Edwards opened this food cart in 1938 outside the Woolloomooloo naval dockyard. The name "de Wheels" reportedly came from an old regulation requiring mobile food carts to be moved slightly every day. The signature Tiger Pie, named after the founder's nickname, features a beef pie topped with mashed potato, mushy peas, and gravy, costing about AUD 8. Standard pies are generally AUD 5–8, with bacon and cheese versions and vegetarian options also available. The cart is located on Cowper Wharf Road, opposite the Woolloomooloo Bay Hotel and close to the Finger Wharf. It stays open until late at night, making it a perfect spot for a late-night bite. Within walking distance of the city center or Kings Cross.
