Timeline
08:00
Start the morning with a quiet coffee at Cafe 18. It opens at 07:30 on weekends, giving you time to settle in before the day begins.
09:00
Walk to Lindesay to catch the 10AM tour. This National Trust site is one of Sydney’s oldest residences, featuring colonial-style English furniture and sweeping views of the harbour. Arriving early ensures you have the space to yourself before other groups arrive.
11:30
Head to the Fortune of War, one of Sydney’s oldest continuously licensed pubs since 1830. It is a popular spot for office workers and can get cosy, making it a perfect place to rest and reflect on the history you just witnessed.
Local tip
