Sydney Walking Tour Men Who Stayed Alive

When Ben from our team tried this walk, he expected a dry history lesson with a map and a lot of standing around. What he got was a live performer in full period character leading a small group through The Rocks, the oldest corner of Sydney and a neighbourhood that still carries the grit of its convict and maritime past. The tour kicks off beneath the Harbour Bridge with the Opera House in view, then winds through narrow laneways and harbourfront precincts where the old stone buildings sit cheek by jowl with modern cafes and tourists snapping photos. Along the way the stories centre on convicts, surgeons, merchants and settlers, the people who shaped the early colony. It runs about 1 hour 15 minutes and is aimed at anyone curious about how Sydney got started, not at ghost-story seekers. Ben's takeaway: it's a lively, well-performed way to see the city's foundations.
