Wonder, warmth and wit - A wonderful window into the world of drag and queer secrets of Darlinghurst told through the glamorously dressed eyes of Wonder Mamma. Warmth, humor and honesty brought the rich and colorful history of this little strip of Sydney alive and personal anecdotes and connections made it real 💕

Learn about LGBTQ Sydney and enjoy an ice cream! - Wonder Mama is very knowledgeable about the events and places that have shaped LGBTQ people and communities in Sydney. I learned a lot from her. What's more, Wonder Mama is such an enthusiastic and friendly person - it's hard not to connect with her! The visit to the FAX Fetish Boutik and the ice cream are also must. In sum, I highly recommend this tour--probably one of the best tours I've done in Sydney.

WIIIIIIIIIIILMA!!!!!!!! (Go see her! 🥰) - If I were to give it one sentence I would say “Wish it was longer!” But by no means meaning that it lacked substance. Wilma aka Wonder Mama was a hoot, gave us quite a bit of cool history and info about the Oxford area as well as a bit of the history of gay Sydney. Of course the book I would have loved to have bought she wrote was sold out at the bookstore, but goes to show how good it must be. We appreciated the smaller group, was glad she wasn’t taking a break so shortly after Mardi Gras which we missed, so we booked her as soon as we found her! Enjoyed every minute!
