Overview

Your first day guiding at Hyde Park Barracks ends with a cold touch on your shoulder. A ghostly woman appears: help me find my son. In this self-guided mystery walk, you follow Alice through Sydney's most haunted streets to uncover who murdered Thomas. Decode clues at the convict barracks where 1,700 men once slept in lice-infested hammocks. Walk the Forgotten Songs laneway, then descend into The Rocks to investigate Australia's most haunted hotel, an 1840s opium den, and a pub with a secret smuggling tunnel. The route passes the Dead House where the Shark Arm Murder was investigated, the Merchant's House where a strangled wife still walks, and ruins where a ghost matches her 1831 murder description exactly. Real hauntings fuel every stop. With 11 stops across 100 minutes from Hyde Park to the Harbour Bridge, this is Sydney's most complete ghost walk, best after dark. Download the Questo app, start whenever you dare, and help Alice find her lost son.
