Hyde Park Barracks

posted by xbellinger on 3 December 2010 at 09:13

This really interetsing museum is housed in the lovely barracks, a three-storeyed architectural monolith. It's great to look around the living quarters and learn more about the life of a convict, packed into their hammocks 70 to a room. A fascinating part of our history, easily forgotten thousands of miles away in the UK.

where, when, how, web
Queens Square, Macquarie Street, right by the royal botanical gardens

Blue Mountains

posted by lkepplinger on 16 November 2010 at 15:39

There are quite a few B&Bs in the Blue Mountains park but if you can't spare a night here, you can explore the park by road using the Great Western Highway which runs out of Sydney. The scenery is really beautiful - look out for the three sisters, three monumental sandstone cliffs. There are also some historical villages here as well as this was the route that European explorers took in the early 19th century.

Rocks Walking Tour

posted by ykettlewell on 22 October 2010 at 12:17

This great tour through all the historic bits of Sydney really opened my eyes to the past that is so often hidden behind the brigde and the opera house. Cadman's Cottage was totally unexpected and really great and i just can't imagine cutting a pathway through rock by hand like they did at the Argyle Cut.

where, when, how, web
Start at Circular Quay, we followed a guide from the internet
