Join your guide outside Parliament House near Salamanca Place on the waterfront, and embark on a 2-hour walking tour to discover the historic Battery Point. Immerse yourself in the charm, beauty, and history of this serene and exclusive area, once farmland known as Cottage Green. This tour includes Arthur Circus and is rich with stories, including questionable property transactions by Governor Arthur, the downfall of the reveling Reverend Knopwood, and the shipbuilding magnate Alexander MacGregor, whose grand Georgian home still stands today.

Battery Point is best enjoyed at a relaxed pace on foot with a guide who can vividly illustrate how wealth poured into Battery Point from the surge of trade and the British Royal Navy transporting timber, wool, and rum from the Salamanca docks and warehouses.

This gentle walking tour begins at Parliament House and concludes in Salamanca Place, renowned for its Saturday markets, the oldest in Australia. Your guide will gladly point you to some of the favorite cafés for a refreshing coffee after the tour.
