Aboriginal Sydney

Discover the history & culture of Aboriginal Sydney with these self-guided audio-supported tours, covering heritage & rock art sites, as well as contemporary Australian Indigenous places of significance.

From the edges of Sydney Harbour and the city’s museums & art galleries to Kuring-Gai National Park in the north out to Western Sydney & south to Botany Bay, the Aboriginal Sydney app lets you explore Sydney Aboriginal people’s rich cultural heritage, from the past and the present.

With contact information for public transport and GPS locating, you can spend from half a day up to a week exploring Aboriginal Sydney. Audio commentary accompanies most sites and is particularly helpful for overseas visitors.

The Aboriginal Sydney app lets you:

• plan your tours to suit your available time – from 30 minutes to all day
• choose your walk by locality or interest
