Exploring the City's Heritage

Heritage Walks and Drive

Rockdale City Council completed a comprehensive Heritage Study in 1991, and has compiled two Heritage Walks and a Heritage Drive to encourage residents and visitors to explore and enjoy the architecture and natural areas identified in the project.

The Arncliffe Heritage Walk and the Rockdale Heritage Walk are both two hour journeys that explore the City's architectural styles. Many fine Victorian and Federation houses and public buildings are noted along the way.

The Rockdale Heritage Drive is a two hour, 25km trip that will give you an understanding of the original landscape and how the City developed. It highlights important natural areas and buildings which have been identified as heritage items (or places of historic interest).

Instructions for the Heritage Walks and the Heritage Drive can be printed out here (PDF format).
