Spies in the Capital: Women in Espionage Walking Tour
Spies in the Capital: Women in Espionage Walking Tour
Overview
Not many people think, "espionage" when they imagine a visit to Canberra.
She Shapes History is here to change that. Canberra has a fascinating and unique history of spies, intrigue and covert operations hidden behind its iconic landmarks.
Join this walk through Canberra's National Triangle and go beyond the guidebooks. 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 you 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. Don't be surprised if you leave wondering if your Mum was once a spy...
