Overview

It's time for Canberra's secrets to come out of the closet. Led by an extremely passionate local queer guide, this tour takes you to some of the key sites where queer Canberrans shaped history. From the site of the city's first Pride Festival to the first privately (and woman!) owned gay club to the park where gay men used to meet under the cover of darkness, each stop is a chapter in the community's rich queer narrative.

This walking tour isn’t just about history—it’s a celebration of love, courage, and the unsung heroes who transformed the city. The experience concludes with a drink and an opportunity to connect with your community, making it the perfect introduction to queer Canberra.

She Shapes History is a queer-owned and -operated business. All their LGBTQIA+ History Tours are led by a queer guide. At She Shapes History, they're more than just guides – they're storytellers, activists, and part of the living history they share.
