Embark on the The Hidden Gems of Millers Point

Beneath Sydney’s glimmering skyline, secrets linger in the sandstone: tales of bootleggers, betrayals, and long-vanished fortunes echo through quiet streets most never explore.

This self-guided audio tour winds through Millers Point, unlocking doors to hidden histories and overlooked landmarks like Dalgety's Bond Stores and Winsbury Terrace. Hear stories left out of guidebooks and walk routes locals guard as their own.

What led to the midnight raid that almost toppled a trading empire here? Which whispers from Munn Street convinced neighbors to flee overnight? How did an unassuming terrace become ground zero for an oddly specific legal loophole?

Stroll through shadows and sunlight where drama unfolded, scandal flared, and rebellions sparked. The city reveals itself with each step: a vibrant patchwork stitched with intrigue and surprise.

Dare to follow the footprints history tried to hide. Begin your journey—where every stone tells a story.
