THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY REIBEY - Guided Local History Walking Tour of Newtown, Part 2


A young boy, sentenced to transportation for stealing a horse, turned out to be Molly Haydock, later to become Mary Reibey, the familiar face on the $20 bill. After a successful career in business she retired to Newtown with her family. At nearby Camden Villa lived prominent local politician Thomas Holt, who soon moved to The Warren to breed rabbits for hunting. Come and explore this historic territory at the often-overlooked end of Newtown. Leader: Beatrice Scheepers
