🇦🇺 7 PLACES IN SYDNEY MOST TOURISTS WALK RIGHT PAST ⇩
A walk through the oldest corners of the city: Hyde Park Barracks, a UNESCO World Heritage site designed by a convict architect, a cast-iron fountain hidden in the courtyard of Sydney Hospital, 180 empty birdcages hanging above Angel Place, a wh**ky bar tucked into old sandstone rooms on George Street, the colonial lanes of The Rocks, the Hero of Waterloo, one of Sydney’s oldest pubs, and the stairs that lead straight onto the Harbour Bridge.
Sandstone walls warmed by the spring sun, hidden laneways between glass towers, harbour breeze, old pubs with stories in every corner and a city that’s much older than it looks.
This is the route of Ghosts of Sydney: The Lost Son, a self-guided quest from Hyde Park Barracks through The Rocks. Follow the clues, discover the places most people miss and see Sydney through new eyes 🌸
