The Pyrmont peninsula belonged to Sydney’s industrial heartland in past decades, with its wharves, goods yards, woolstores and factories contributing enormously to the city’s economic wealth.

Much of the area had become derelict by the 1990s, but developments on former industrial sites have led to an influx of new residents in recent years.

This tour visits key sites in the industrial and maritime history of Sydney, as well as exploring an often overlooked Sydney community. It is something of a “ghost” tour, as many of the sites no longer exist or have been put to other uses.
