Redcoats, Rascals & Thunderboxes - A History of Sydney
Overview
Experience Sydney from a local’s perspective (which, let’s face it, is the best perspective imaginable!). Explore all the city icons, like The Rocks, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the Sydney Opera House, but explore them in a way most tourists don’t. They take the least-walked path on this Sydney walking tour, and meander through this fascinating city’s tumultuous history and into the modern day.
This historic Sydney walk introduces you to the old and new of Sydney. Wander past Cadman’s Cottage, the oldest building in Australia. Then, take a stroll down Argyle Place, Nurses Walk, and other ‘must-do’ sites such as the Customs House and the Sydney Opera House, all with a local guide to show you the bits you’d miss on your own!
This Sydney tour is a warts and all account of the birth of modern Australia and the legacies left from decisions made and the people who made them: those who won, those who lost, and everyone in-between. Factual, funny, irreverent, and anecdotal – this Sydney walking tour is a great local experience packed full of Sydney history!
