A wonderful perspective on the first people of Syd

Roxanne 2 September 2024

This was a great walk around the query area with lots of interesting information and insight into the hidden history of this country - I enjoyed every minute of it and came away understanding the culture, history and life of the Aboriginal inhabitants of the Sydney region - well worth making the time for in a busy schedule - it adds a breath of realism and connection

A must-do for Sydney!!

Megan 1 September 2024

My 10-year-old son and I had an incredible experience on The Rocks Aboriginal Dreaming Tour with Aunty Margret. The stories shared were not only fascinating but brought the history and culture of the area to life in a way that truly resonated with both of us. My son was captivated by the tales of the Dreamtime, and we both left with a much deeper appreciation for the Aboriginal heritage of Sydney.
