About

SydneyGhostTour reveals the often completely hidden aspects of the Early years of European colonisation in Sydney, taken from both a European and an Aboriginal perspective.

Much of the very earliest newspapers, diaries, paintings and even the first photography of Sydney going back as far as the 1840s, has been digitised and made available through some of our major academic and historic institutions literally around the world. So we were able to put together a more complete picture of what happened when, where and with whom during the 19th century, faster and more completely than any time before in history.
Nowhere was this more evident in researching some of the people, the haunted mansions and heritage sites of Sydney. When you can take local legends and verify them with cold, hard documented facts that is both mind blowing and chilling! The benefits of this research has now been combined into SydneyGhostTour's latest Sydney Ghost Tour.
We place 10% of all pre-tax profits directly into an active conservation fund, and directly act in the promotion of history through the internet and multimedia presentations, the preservation of historic sites, headstones, and other remaining artifacts. Essentially, we are a Profit for a purpose organisation.
So, every time that you come along on one of our tours, you know that you are directly contributing to the preservation and commemoration of the people and places you will see and hear about on your tour.

The North Shore of Sydney has long been the home of the "Movers & Shakers" of Australia since Colonial times. Do you want to learn Sydney's hidden secrets? (more)
