Walkingtours.com.au presents the first of two walking tours of the eastern suburbs of Sydney. The first two walks, Paddington and Darlinghurst are two of Sydney's most vibrant areas. As they pass by museums, cafes. restaurants and hotels the walks can stimulate further investigation of the area. A two hour walk can become the catalyst for a whole day's adventure.
The walks began as personally guided walks for members and guests of the NSW Historic Houses Trust. They were recorded as podcasts and presented for download on walkingtours.com.au. The walks are narrated by Tara Morice (Star of Strictly Ballroom), Geoff Morrell (Screen Actor who appeared in Looking for Alibrandi, Oscar and Lucinda & Grass Roots) and Janet Morice, social historian and author.
The focus for each walk is on the people who lived in the suburbs. Each walk has been extensively researched and what is presented is a lighthearted social history. Images are presented for each stop and these contain a mixture of contemporary and historic photographs.
