Sydney’s Badass Women: Inspiring History Walking Tour
Overview
This isn’t your usual Sydney history tour.
Uncover Sydney’s hidden women’s history with your passionate and knowledgeable local guide. Step off the beaten path and discover a side of Sydney few ever see.
Together we’ll walk from leafy Hyde Park, down Macquarie Street and into The Rocks. We’ll learn about the woman who saved Macquarie Street’s iconic colonial era buildings and witness stunning views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge while learning about the woman who managed the whole project.
