Under the Clocks: Melbourne Walking Tour for Retirees

Explore Melbourne’s best laneways on a Friday walking tour with local stories and a cafe break – starting under the clocks at Flinders Street Station.

Created in partnership with Seniors in Melbourne, this relaxed small-group walking tour is ideal for retirees who want to explore the city at an easy pace, taking a wander through the lanes, alleys and arcades that reveal Melbourne’s past and shape its appeal today.

Limited to a maximum group number of 10, the tours are led by Paul Daffey, a lifelong Melburnian, journalist and storyteller. His love of local history comes through in every step – whether he’s recounting tales from a century-old pub or pointing out a detail most people miss, Paul brings Melbourne’s characters, quirks and hidden corners to life.
