Highlights
- Balmain Market - When you mention Balmain to a Sydneysider, three things come to mind: the Balmain Tigers football team, Olympic swimming champion Dawn Fraser, and pubs. Lots of pubs. In fact, Balmain boasts the highest pub-to-person ratio in Australia. This 3-hour walking tour of the peninsula on Sydney Harbour delves into Balmain’s colorful history of escaped convicts, shady gangsters, and corrupt politicians. As you wander through the backstreets, you’ll pause to enjoy a craft beer, wine, or cider at four of the area’s most iconic and historic pubs. Each pub visit includes a choice of craft beer or wine! Tour highlights include: Balmain’s Oldest Pub, The Balmain Watch House with tales of local gangsters, The Balmain Tigers’ ‘Team of the Penitentiary,’ dueling colonists, the murderous confectioner, the hidden treasure from Australia’s most daring robbery, and many more stories of murder, vice, and intrigue.
