Warren Fahey, cultural historian, author, broadcaster and performer, will tell us the stories of the ‘2011’ post code of Sydney’s inner-east that offers a fascinating history of Sydney’s high life, low life and, sometimes, very low life. All five precincts are alive with curious history.
Warren will deliver an eclectic romp through the social history of Sydney’s most famous neighbourhood, from scenic roller-coaster rides at Rushcutter Bay’s White City amusement park; maritime mischief down at the ‘Loo; the scandal of ‘peeping Toms’ at Elizabeth Bay; and memories of cabaret’s greats at the Silver Spade in Potts Point, to the origins of the darker side of Kings Cross.
