Sydney Origin Story Walk in The Rocks
Overview
This isn’t your standard history walk with dry facts and a monotone guide. The Bloody Interesting Rocks Walking Tour brings Sydney’s gritty beginnings to life with dramatic storytelling, dark humour, and hidden corners most tourists miss. Led by a professional guide and former TV director, you'll hear true tales of convicts, corruption, sly grog, scandal, and survival — all where it really happened.
You’ll also taste native flavours like wattleseed ANZAC cookies and lemon myrtle tea, and get the kind of commentary that turns a footpath into a stage. If you like your history raw, real, and wildly entertaining — this is the tour for you.
