Learn About Hyde Park’s Dark Past

As part of our ongoing look at the National Trust’s Australian Heritage Festival, we had Elliot Lindsay, the guide for Hyde Park: A Story of Lawless Beauty on the show. The event is a walking tour exploring the dark secret past of one of Sydney’s most iconic landmarks, and runs from 11am tomorrow (26th April) in the park. Elliot is a historian, and specialises in the history of Sydney’s underworld and fringe communities.
If anyone is interested in this event or learning more about Sydney’s heritage, the Australian Heritage Festival is running now until the 18th of May. You can find out more at the National Trust’s website: https://www.nationaltrust.org.au/ .
