Glebe: Where Mansions Met the Working Class Walking Tour
Overview
Wander along beautiful tree-lined streets lined with Victorian mansions, elegant Edwardian townhouses and magnificent churches, while uncovering the extraordinary people and surprising stories behind them.
From wealthy eccentrics and ambitious families to workers, reformers and characters who helped shape Sydney, Glebe’s streets reveal a fascinating mix of wealth, industry, religion, scandal and social change. Discover how this once-rural estate became one of Sydney’s most distinctive neighbourhoods and meet some of the remarkable people who left their mark on it.
The tour follows an easy, accessible route and is dog-friendly, with plenty of places to sit and toilets available along the way.
