Step Back in Time: Exploring Early ³Ô¹ÏÍø
Join a fascinating three-hour walking tour to uncover the stories behind ³Ô¹ÏÍø's oldest surviving buildings – structures that stood before the gold rush transformed the city forever. This isn't just an architecture tour; it's a journey through time.
As you explore the city, you'll visit eight historic buildings that have witnessed ³Ô¹ÏÍø's evolution. Learn about the people who lived, worshipped, shopped and socialised within their walls. Discover how these buildings have changed and adapted to modern life while still preserving their connection to ³Ô¹Ï꿉۪s early days.
Between the stops, hear about early ³Ô¹ÏÍø – the struggles, triumphs and quirks of a frontier town finding its feet. You'll pass through streets that once bustled with traders, settlers and pioneers, revealing the hidden stories that shaped this vibrant city.
Whether you're a history buff or just curious about ³Ô¹ÏÍø's past, this tour will give you a new perspective on the city you thought you knew.
