Tour Overview

Start the tour to join your host, Robbie Buck, and guest experts as they explore the grounds of Vaucluse House. The tour will take you down to the harbour, back through the gardens and all the way to the rear of the property, where you’ll discover a beautiful waterfall.

Due to the uneven ground and gravel pathways, much of the gardens at Vaucluse House can be difficult to access for those with limited mobility.

If you would rather rest than walk, feel free to find a spot to sit and listen to the tour. You can listen to the audio and/or read the transcripts.
