Description

Come and enjoy a two hour walk in Ultimo with Michael, AAA's volunteer tour guide and learn about the area's colourful history and architecture.

On the walking tour you will see and hear about a building that has been described as the most beautiful squashed paper bag by architect Frank Gehry. Adding to the tour is a beautifully designed college built in Romanesque Revival Style which features carvings of Australian animals and flowers in the facade.

Discover and hear about the 6 Green Star rated sustainability building which has a ''Doppler Effect'' facade and one of the first of its' kind in Australia.

So much to see and hear about, finishing along the Goods Line which was transformed from a disused freight railway line into a thoughtfully designed park and green space.
