Description
Your first day guiding at Hyde Park Barracks ends with a cold touch on your shoulder. A ghostly woman appears: help me find my son. In this self-guided mystery walk, you follow Alice through Sydney's most haunted streets to uncover who murdered Thomas. Decode clues at the convict barracks where 1,700 men once slept in lice-infested hammocks. Walk the Forgotten Songs laneway, then descend into The Rocks to investigate Australia's most haunted hotel, an 1840s opium den, and a pub with a secret smuggling tunnel.
