Guided Walking Tour of South Eveleigh
This event is part of the Australian Heritage Festival
The RAHS is hosting a walking tour of the former South Eveleigh Locomotive Workshops in celebration of the National Trust’s Australian Heritage Festival.
This easy walking tour introduces visitors to the history of the NSW Railways and the heritage adaptive re-use of the former Eveleigh Locomotive Workshops. First called the Australian Technology Park and now known as South Eveleigh, the place features awesome industrial architecture and astonishing remnants of industrial machinery, as well as a proud legacy of industrial activism.
