Step back in time and uncover Brisbane’s rich history, from its convict origins to its rise as a bustling river city. Wander through the shadows of grand government buildings, hear tales of fiery scandals and whispered ghost stories, and walk the very streets where convicts toiled beneath the hot Queensland sun. This two-hour walking tour will take you to ten iconic sites, each revealing a different chapter of Brisbane’s past - whether it be crime, power, industry, or intrigue.
Stand beneath the looming Old Windmill, where convicts once turned the treadmill as punishment. Imagine the flames engulfing the old Supreme Court. Stroll through the elegant Brisbane Arcade, said to be haunted by the dark secret of one of Brisbane's first elite families. End your journey at the site of World War II's most unexpected conflict - the Battle of Brisbane. From political drama to haunted whispers, high society to hard labor - this is Brisbane as you’ve never seen it before.
