GUIDED TOURS
 Click here to see our website. | LIZ VINCENT TOURS Local historian and writer Liz Vincent held her first guided tour of the fascinating history of Picton's past in the mid 1990's. Since then she has been in demand with her historical day tours. Liz offers guide services on your coach seven days visiting some of Picton's most interesting historical sites. At night, things change when Liz runs the very popular ghost tours where the cover of darkness gives an extra interest and excitement to the discovery of Picton's past. Picton was recently nominated in Tim the Yowie Man's book as the most haunted town in Australia. The many thousands of people who have joined a ghost tour since they began in 1997 can vouch for that. The ghost tours are run on Friday and Saturday nights with private tours available Monday to Thursday nights. Some nights the ghost tours are run with a supper, sometimes with a two course meal or just as a tour only. Participants walk the streets hearing many tales of ghostly happenings finishing with a walk through a very haunted disused railway tunnel. Contact Liz by phone 02 4677 2044, email liz@lizvincenttours.com.au or by mail at P.O. Box 111 Picton NSW 2571 |
