Heritage Walk of Aberfeldie 18 May

With the 4 May Walk sold out, we will conduct a repeat walk on Sunday 18 May 2025.

This walk offers a fascinating glimpse into Aberfeldie’s past, bringing to life the stories of the people and places that shaped the suburb.

Discover the stories behind Aberfeldie on this guided walk with the Essendon Historical Society. Admire historic homes, from Homewood – the centre of the Sisters of Resurrection – to Clydebank – the home of the Ramsay family of entrepreneurs and artists. Explore the role of local schools, including Essendon High School and Aberfeldie Primary School, in driving the development of the area, and stroll past local icons, including the much-loved Bessell’s Bakery and Tony’s Pies, and learn about their place in the community over the decades.
