We delve into the rich history of The Rocks, one of Sydney's oldest and most iconic neighborhoods, exploring the area's fascinating past, from its origins as a First Nations fishing village to its development as a hub of colonial industry and commerce. Learn about the social and cultural landscape of The Rocks throughout history, and how it has changed over time. And, while on the hunt, follow us through some lovely ghost stories, and look into the preservation efforts that have helped to maintain the unique character of the neighborhood.

The Rocks has a long history with Australia, with convicts, with shipping, and with many other industries besides. Join Holly and Matthew as they look through the area's history, its stories, and the ghosts that continue to haunt this little 2km stretch of Sydney Harbour.
