Deeper Melbourne Walking Tours

  • Tour
  • Fitness

Traverse the birth of modern Melbourne while exploring Naarm’s true history and culture, rising from lands cared for by Traditional Owners and First Peoples for more than 45,000 years.

Breathe fresh air, soak-in vitamin D and get your steps in as you weave and zigzag your way in an analogue fashion from Southern Cross Station to Flinders Street Station over about 90 minutes.

Deeper Melbourne walking tours are inclusive, modern and attention span-informed, drawing on local knowledge; research; experience as a writer, journalist, and environmental and social justice advocate; and profound/dumb observations.

Consider the existential while learning about local history and culture plus insider tips.

Meet on the grass opposite Southern Cross Station on the Collins St/Spencer St corner.

The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection they have maintained to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We accept the invitation in the Uluru Statement from the Heart and are committed to walking together to build a better future. For more information, visit Aboriginal Melbourne.
