Join our Local Studies Librarian on this walk to explore the origins of the name Canada Bay. On 25 February 1840, 58 French-speaking Canadians from Quebec reached Port Jackson on board the ship Buffalo. Rebels against British rule, they (along with 91 English-speaking convicts who had disembarked at Hobart) had been transported to Australia as punishment. Learn about the rebellion, the harsh treatment of the rebels, and their eventual fates.

Free walking tour. Bookings are essential. Choose between the morning or the afternoon session. Each session runs for two hours.
