Description

Step into Brisbane's darker side after sunset with a local guide. Begin at the historic Old Windmill and uncover eerie stories from the city's convict past, including harsh punishment, mysterious deaths, and legends that have survived for generations. Continue to the exterior of the Commissariat Store, one of Brisbane's most important surviving convict-era buildings. Hear stories of forced labour, hardship, and the early penal settlement as you explore the shadows of Brisbane's colonial past. Then head to City Hall, where grand civic architecture takes on a different atmosphere after dark. Discover stories of historic figures, strange events, and local legends surrounding one of Brisbane's most iconic landmarks. Continue outside Brisbane Arcade, a century-old city landmark long associated with ghost stories and whispered tales. Your guide will separate historical fact from folklore as you uncover some of Brisbane's most intriguing urban legends. Finish along Wickham Terrace, where historic buildings, true crime, and lingering mysteries reveal another side of the city's past. As the modern city surrounds you, you'll leave with a new perspective on Brisbane—and perhaps a few unanswered questions of your own.
