A 3.5hr cruise on Harman to Newington and back will expand your knowledge of the Parramatta River.

See the birthplace of the Green Ban in Australia.

A childhood home of a famous poet.

The little-known monument to a Sydney world champion.

Prestige redevelopment of former industrial sites.

Former boatbuilding sites, large and small, heroic and hopeless, through peace and war.

The hidden resting place of our best known Aboriginal man

The lasting legacy of a great philanthropist.
