Announcing Touring the Past’s Blue Mountain’s ‘field office’—solution-based heritage services

Updated: Feb 9, 2021

Touring the Past is delighted to announce the opening of its Blue Mountain’s ‘field office’. This exciting news means we are able to offer efficient, cost-effective and tailored heritage services across this region as well as Greater Western Sydney.

The cultural landscape of the Blue Mountains is both multilayered and idiosyncratic with its ‘village’ feel, diverse array of traditional built forms, particular regional typologies and remarkably intact streetscapes and gardens. It is an area that requires a sensitive and informed approach to change.
