This tour explores how the University grounds were used by Aboriginal people before European settlement, the history of western intellectual engagement with Indigenous people, and the ways several disciplines of the University utilised traditional knowledge in research and teaching. The tour follows the pathways the University has taken towards reconciliation with the first Australians in recent decades.

Beyond the Quadrangle there is also the opportunity to explore an additional two equally fascinating buildings – the late Victorian Neo-Gothic Anderson Stuart Building (the original site of the Medical School), and the modern Sydney Law School which opened in 2009.
