Tour Taster:
Once upon a time, a bizarre colonial experiment took place on the rocky shores of an ancient harbour.
Thousands of miles from home, Britain's banished thieves were locked in a prison with walls made of ocean, hunger, fear and the bush.
Defying the odds, their shanty camp clutched to life on the banks of a tiny stream. Gardens were grown, rum was traded and homes were carved out of sandstone cliffs.
Centuries changed and legends grew, scallywag Sydney was born, her squalid secrets etched into the very foundations of the city we know today.
