Not many people think “espionage” when they imagine a visit to Canberra.
We’re here to change that. Canberra has a fascinating and unique history of spies, intrigue and covert operations hidden behind its iconic landmarks.
Join us for a walk through Canberra’s National Triangle and go beyond the guidebooks. We’ll tell tales of extraordinary women who were both spies and spied upon. Learn about their fascinating lives, their daring exploits, and the challenges they faced in a male-dominated world.
We start at the Hyatt Hotel before heading to Albert Hall, visiting a hidden underground bunker at West Block, an ex-ASIO office and Old Parliament House, before finishing right back where we started.
Come for a relaxed, easy walk, deepen your understanding of Canberra’s hidden history of women in espionage, and meet the unlikely candidate for Australia’s best spy.
This is a tour that will stay with you long after the walk ends. Expect laughter, intrigue, and a few surprises along the way.
Warning: you may leave wondering if your Mum was once a spy!
