Ever wondered what life was like in an unofficial suburb of Newcastle during the Great Depression? Now's your chance to find out. Join the curatorial squad for a casual tour of A Place Called Hollywood, an exhibition that dives into the lives of those who set up their humble abodes just outside Jesmond in the 1920s and 30s. You'll get the scoop on the exhibition's backstory and the intriguing history of the community, all while soaking up that laid-back Newcastle atmosphere.

The curator has teamed up with Transport for NSW and a team of archaeologists who dusted off some fascinating salvage finds from the 'Hollywood' site. Plus, there are delightful videos capturing local memories that will give you all the feels. So, lace up those walking shoes and prepare for tales of the resilient characters who created their own little slice of home. The tour is wheelchair-friendly, although you'll be navigating the Newcastle Story gallery for about 30 to 45 minutes. It won't cost you a cent, but remember to book your spot; this quirky look back in time is too good to miss.
