Event Details

Description

Middle Cove is a small peninsular suburb between Castlecrag and Castlecove planned by Walter Burley Griffin and was included as part of Griffin's orginal land purchase which included Castlecrag. On this two hour walk you will go back in time to see some of Sydney's best domestic architecture from the 1950's to today which includes houses by architects Neville Gruzman, Bruce Rickard, Sydney Ancher and Arthur Baldwinson. Discover how the architects designed their houses to interact with the landscape, bush and views. This tour starts at Harold Reid Reserve - a large national park.

Tour leader Ben Gerstel is a local architect who has developed this walk of Middle Cove.
