Glebe Streets Historic Tour

Tour Description

Glebe's history is incredible. From an important trading route for Aboriginal people for thousands of years to a playground for Sydney's ultra-rich to Sydney's most disgusting suburb, this picturesque inner city suburb has it all. A once industrious suburb, old warehouses are scattered amongst monstrous mansions and tiny townhouses. Elaborate churches are dotted along tree-lined streets with breathtaking views of the city skyline. Stories of religious wars, royal visits, public torchings and grand balls at the then-biggest house in Sydney make this tour a diverse and almost unbelievable one. ​​ Duration: 1.5 Hours Regularity: Weekly Walking Ease: An easy flat walk that is accessible for prams, small children and people with disabilities Length: 1.5 Kilometres with plenty of shade, seating, bubblers and toilets along the way.
