Tour Details - 'VISION OF A CITY' TOUR
|
 |
The Vision Of A City Personal Audio Guided Walking Tour explores the area of Sydney that exemplifies the desire of the early settlers to create a European city in the South Pacific. Despite its humble convict beginnings, here we see a Sydney that has come of age and met Governor Macquarie's vision of a proud city, with grand, impressive buildings, beautiful parks and a degree of sophistication. |
 |
| This route is a particularly nice one to walk. Places of interest along the way include the Sydney Opera House, the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Art Gallery of NSW, St Mary's Cathedral, Hyde Park, Macquarie Street historic sites including Parliament House, the Conservatorium of Music and Government House. |
 |
 |
While this tour contains much of architectural and historic interest, the narration tells of many of the colourful people and events 'behind' the buildings |
| The Royal Botanic Gardens is a green 'oasis' near the middle of the city, and as well as offering excellent views of the city and the harbour, it is a delightful place to walk and enjoy a picnic or have lunch. And if you've ever wanted to see a fruit bat, the largest of all bats, this is your chance to see hundreds of them. |
