Why choose this Canberra tour ?

Ready to learn about the REAL history of Canberra – the one excluded from the history books and your standard tour of Canberra?

Join this entertaining and educational walking tour of Canberra and discover the true movers and shakers behind our city.

Learn about Australia’s hidden women’s history as you walk among some of our nation’s most iconic cultural institutions and monuments.

Hidden between the National Archives, the National Library, and the National Gallery are the stories of women who designed cities, changed Australia’s constitution and dismissed governments.

You will be guided through Australia’s capital city by locals with a great sense of humour, a genuine passion for Canberra and women’s history, and plenty of fun facts to share.

We promise you’ll leave feeling inspired by Canberra’s remarkable (and frankly pretty unexpected!) women’s history, and you might even make a few new friends along the way!
