Discover the hidden stories of Australia in Westminster: radicals, visionaries and gold diggers while walking through iconic streets
About this Event

Exploring the streets of Westminster we will hear about historical connections with Australia: the young Australian woman inspired to fight for women's right to vote; the Cornish man who raised money on the Australian goldfields to pursue his London dream; a British MP who campaigned for the rights of indigenous people in the colonies - including Australia. And many more.
