HISTORY TOURS

What was the Quarantine Station?
​
For over 150 years the Quarantine Station was for many, the beginning of a new life in Australia after making the arduous & lengthy journey from their homelands. Ships suspected of harbouring people infected with contagious disease such as Spanish Influenza, Smallpox or Bubonic Plague were quarantined here so that these deadly diseases would not reach the general population in Sydney.  Ultimately a success story for the growing Sydney population, it did however leave an indelible mark on those that were quarantined; tales of love and loss play out alongside themes of cultural and social change, medical history and progress.
​
We operate a public schedule of history tours, bookable online or in person at our onsite Visitor Centre for you to discover more about our story. Group tours are also welcome by prior arrangement.

All of our History & Ghost Tours can be booked online. If you are experiencing technical difficulties,  please send your name and day time contact number via email to H8773-CR5@accor.com and a member of the Q Station Tours team will be in contact as soon as possible, within business hours.

You’ll explore the heritage buildings and discover the stories of migrants through the 19th and 20th centuries.

As of Monday 14th December, 2020, Q Station has revised its policy on the wearing of masks.  Where physical distancing cannot be observed, guests and staff are required to wear masks.  Q Station kindly requests that all guests attending a history or ghost tour supply and wear their own mask.  Tour guides may not wear a mask to assist in the ability to deliver a successful tour, however, will adhere to physical distancing in these circumstances.
