“Had a fantastic day with Becky doing the Newcastle Architecture, Street Art & Hidden Secrets tour today. Becky is so passionate about everything to do with Newcastle and did so much to inspire us with her wealth of knowledge about all things historic , cultural and quirky.
I’ve lived here all my life but now have a new respect for the local Aboriginal language and history. The importance of our facade restoration and new architecture and the unique forms of tagging, street art and the wealth of local sustainable artists we have in our city.
Thank you Becky. We would highly recommend your business”
