Overview

Uncover a side of Australia's capital city that few encounter – a hidden world of spies, double agents, and covert operations.

Walk in the footsteps of extraordinary women who were both spies and spied upon. On this tour, you'll explore the roles of women in Australia’s intelligence systems, visiting hidden WWII bunkers, Old Parliament House, Canberra’s oldest hotel, ASIO’s first office, and the site of the first Royal Commission into espionage.
