For a “car optional” weekend of laughter and mystery, join us on an Adult Ghost Tour of the Rocks in the heart of Sydney.   Hear true stories of murder, suicide, hangings, hauntings and ghosts as you journey along the cobble stone lanes into the hidden areas of the birthplace of Australia.

First you need to book the tour …. please go to http://www.ghosttours.com.au  or ring 02 92411283.  Our tour for the MX5 club is 6.45pm on Saturday evening the 27th June 2015.     Cost is $42.00 per person.

Second is the hotel accommodation.

I have sourced the YHA Hotel in the heart of the Rocks – this hotel is $190.00 for the Saturday night.  It is built above archaeological remnants of colonial Sydney which will add to the Ghost night.    At the moment there are 13 double rooms with  ensuite available.  Please ring 8272 0900 to book your room.  Address is 110 Cumberland Street, just down the road from where we are going to meet for dinner. 

When you have booked please inform us by phoning Janet or emailing:

Afternoon and Evening Activities

We will meet at the Glenmore Hotel at 96 Cumberland Street in the heart of the Rocks at 3.45 p.m. for an early dinner, as we need to be at the harbour side, water’s edge (in the park near Cadman’s Cottage) to start the ghost tour by 6.30pm to sign in, meet our guide and get into our group. 

When the ghost tour finishes we will look at going back to the Mercantile Pub in The Rocks for a few ales, laughter and dancing.  They have a great Irish singer who rocks! 

Next day is up to individuals or may plans will be made over a few ales.
