Badass Women of Canberra Walking Tour

This Canberra walking tour looks at the women often left out of the usual version of Australian history. Over two hours, you’ll walk past major national institutions and monuments while hearing stories about the women who helped shape the city, influenced the constitution and played roles in major political moments. It’s a more specific, story-driven alternative to a standard city tour, with a local guide leading the way and keeping it engaging rather than dry.

The tour is run on foot through central Canberra, weaving between places like the National Archives, National Library and National Gallery. Along the way, your guide shares lesser-known stories from Australia’s women’s history, with a mix of context, humour and local knowledge. The pace is suitable for most fitness levels, and the tour is wheelchair accessible, with pram-friendly access as well. A souvenir postcard is included at the end.
