  • What To Expect
    The city was originally settled around a freshwater stream and the earliest properties were built around small laneways oblivious to the planner’s grid. These laneways are today charming walkways with lots of hidden gems that contribute to the tapestry of modern day Sydney. Many people (including the locals) who do this trail are surprised to find such secrets hidden away in plain view of the city.

    You can also enjoy some drinks at cool speakeasy bars. The 1st bar is halfway through the trail (prohibition style cocktail bar) and the 2nd at the finish location (An English style pub in stylish courtyard).
