Gold once flowed through Sydney's veins, but beneath its gracious facades lie tales far stranger than fabled riches. Threads of rebellion, injustice, and opulent scandal stitch together cobbled courtyards and sandstone secrets, hidden in plain sight.

This self-guided audio tour winds through Sydney Mint, Hyde Park Barracks, and the green heart of Hyde Park, letting you sidestep the obvious and dive into the stories few visitors uncover.

Who risked everything to escape the iron discipline of the Barracks, igniting panic across colonial Sydney? What secret messages slumber beneath the worn marbles of the Mint? Why was an entire city whipped into uproar over the planting of a single olive tree?

Move through shadows and sunlight, each step opening another layer of the city's dramatic past. Feel the pulse of lost rebellions, clandestine whispers, and the ghostly footprints still echoing above the city streets.

Unlock Sydney's secrets—your journey begins now.
