It’s been a busy time for local historian Max Solling this year. His very popular Festival walks were sold out, with the demand for more resulting in a further Glebe walk on Saturday 12 October 2019.

Max entertained a group of 27 walkers with his in-depth knowledge of our local history coupled with his ability to impart colourful stories of the politicians, councillors and developers (sometimes the same person) of the day.

This walk commenced in the Glebe Estate (Mitchell St) with stories of early life there, followed by an account of the background to local government activity as we experienced the external grandeur of the Glebe Town Hall, and culminating with the history of many fine buildings along Glebe Point Rd and the personalities who have owned them.
