She Shapes History: Badass Women of Melbourne

This is the story of Melbourne – told by the women who shaped it.
Hidden amongst Flinders Street Station, Federation Square, the State Library, the Princess Theatre and Parliament House are the stories of women who shaped Melbourne.
Walk through the heart of the city where women built hospitals, launched movements, soundtracked our streets, and transformed culture – often without recognition. From the steps of Parliament to tucked-away laneways, you’ll meet artists, agitators, entrepreneurs and everyday rebels who dared to speak up and shape the city around them.
Come ready to see Melbourne differently – and to carry these stories with you long after the walk ends. This tour will leave you feeling inspired, grounded, and ready to shape history yourself.
Note: If you have infants or toddlers you are welcome to bring them along with a pram or stroller.
If you have a dog they are also welcome to join – please bring a lead and doggy bags.
