Tour Overview

The Georges River Council Historical Markers Program celebrates the people, places and stories that have helped shape our community. Created in response to community nominations, the program recognises sites of historical and cultural significance across the Georges River area. Each year, up to five new markers are selected and installed.

Take the tour to uncover these fascinating locations and discover the stories behind them. To learn more about the program or submit a nomination, visit the Georges River Council website.
