Description

Step into a side of Melbourne most visitors, and even locals, never see. This unique walking tour uncovers the stories of the women who shaped Melbourne – politicians, factory workers, architects, cooks, café owners, artists, activists, rebels and trailblazers who transformed the city. You’ll visit landmarks like Trades Hall, Parliament House, and the Princess Theatre, plus hidden sites you’d likely never find on your own. If you want to go beyond the tourist trail and experience Melbourne through the stories of the women who shaped it, this is the tour for you. We’re a team of journalists, public servants, artists, actors, cartoonists, architects and librarians who guide because we love it, and because we believe sharing women’s stories can help shape a better future, one tour at a time.
