This walk is linked to the presentation ‘History and intrigues surrounding the Darling Harbour Freeway’ in the City Office on Tuesday 31 March, by Max Underhill, a construction engineer on the project between 1974-79. The tour will bring to life the experiences and challenges surrounding the Darling Harbour Freeway construction.

We will meet in Napoleon Plaza, outside Wynyard Station Exit 4 Barangaroo at 9.15am for a 9.30am start. If arriving by rail at Wynyard station, head for Exit 4 Barangaroo down escalator/steps, along the tunnel and back up to street level where we will meet.

The tour will take us down Sussex St to King St then Market St, before walking up through Darling Harbour, talking about the early history, constructing in a goods yard, Jack Mundey and more. Then we will pass the Chinese Gardens to the Hydraulic Power Pump House. There will be plenty of comfort stops and coffee spots, finishing at the Nest, a little after mid-day where there will be access to Light Rail or an option for lunch.
