The White Hat Guide to Sydney Road

Although Sydney Road runs for quite a distance (all the way to Sydney if you include the Hume Highway) its most characteristic section is the narrow street clogged with cars and trams that runs through the suburbs of Brunswick and Coburg.

2007 edition. This tour was also featured by ABC radio on 24 May and
will feature in a documentary series on Burke and Wills to be shown
on European television in 2008. The tour has been operating for many years and has won
praise from a wide range of sources. This is not a dry and stuffy
tour but in keeping with all White Hat offerings it is Informed,
Intelligent, Independent (and occasionally) Irreverent. You can find
