Living history walk with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and Discovering the history of Newtown
Join the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Sydney House and Barry Charles (known as Trough Man) for this year’s annual History Walk, taking you on a fascinating tour of Newtown—one of Sydney’s most iconic ‘Gay Hubs.’
Barry and the Sisters will provide a unique perspective on how Newtown has evolved over the years, sharing both the highlights and challenges of this vibrant neighbourhood. The last time the Sisters hosted this walk in Newtown was in 2019, with 55 participants joining the event.
Meet Barry and the Sisters as they stroll down King Street, highlighting the rich history of Newtown. With Barry’s colorful past and contributions from the gathered faithful, this walk promises to be an uplifting and informative experience. If we’re lucky, the Sisters might even perform another exorcism at the Anglican Moore Theological College near Sydney University!
Event meeting point: In front of the Inner West Council Pride Centre, King Street, Newtown (formerly Newtown Town Hall)
Finishing Point: on the corner of King Street and Darlington Road, Newtown
