On this public day tour, Connect Coaches will take you to the fascinating Q Staion in Manly. Following the 1 hour "Wharf Wander" guided tour, passengers will have time to explore The Corso in Manly where they can purchase lunch, visit Manly Beach & Manly Wharf & browse the shops before being returned home on the Central Coast.
For over 150 years the Quarantine Station was for many, the beginning of a new life in Australia after making the arduous & lengthy journey from their homelands. Ships suspected of harbouring people infected with contagious disease such as Spanish Influenza, Smallpox or Bubonic Plague were quarantined here so that these deadly diseases would not reach the general population in Sydney.
The Wharf Precinct is the most significant place to understand the arrival and daily operations of residents at the Quarantine Station. On this 1 hour "Wharf Wander" guided tour, you'll explore the heritage buildings of the wharf & hospital precinct and discover the stories of what the former quarantined adults & children endured through the 19th and 20th centuries.
Please note; attendees must be mobile and wear comfortable walking shoes as the tour includes a few stairs, inclines and declines.
