You can now go on a Sydney pilgrimage to city locations associated with Caroline Chisholm’s life and work from 1838 to 1846. It is a self-guided pilgrimage, and will probably take about an hour of easy walking. It is called Caroline Chisholm’s Sydney – Self-guided Walk.

There are 17 pilgrimage points in the five-page Self-guided Walk. Each has a short description of its significance and an historical or contemporary image. General directions and a map showing the location of the pilgrimage points are included.

A Melbourne pilgrimage is still being planned. It will take you to Melbourne sites associated with Caroline Chisholm’s work in gold-rush Victoria during the 1850s, as well as an art exhibition with Chisholm artefacts and details on the shelter sheds (a.k.a. shakedowns). An additional segment will take in the townships of Kyneton and Castlemaine.

More information will be posted when it comes to hand.
