See some tour attendee feedback below:
"Michelle was a charming and great guide. I did not realise just how much urban design, planning and thought has gone into the Toohey’s precinct. I had once previously, rather briefly, walked through the precinct myself to get an impression, but Michelle opened-up much more of the planning and design for me.”
