Description

Step back into the 1940s and explore Canberra’s home front wartime stories on this engaging exhibition tour and walk led by historian Rohan Goyne.

Beginning at CMAG, participants will tour the Australia's Home Front exhibition before exploring key Civic landmarks including Verity Hewitt’s bookshop, the former Roger’s store, and the Civic Hotel - where VP Day celebrations famously saw the city run out of beer. The walk concludes at the GPO, where Rohan shares the story of the Minerals Survey Office.

Participants will receive a 1940 city map and a 1941 aerial photograph highlighting the tour route.

Join us to see why Rohan Goyne’s passion for preserving Australia’s complete military story makes this tour an essential Canberra experience.
