Audio guide10 stops

Beneath the polished facade of the nation’s capital lies a labyrinth of buried secrets and broken promises.

Navigate this self-guided audio tour to uncover the hidden narratives behind iconic landmarks like Questacon, the National Library, and the National Portrait Gallery. Bypass the tourist crowds to explore the forgotten moments and rebellions that pulse under the city surface. What midnight pact changed the course of a prime minister's career forever? Why does a specific portrait in the gallery haunt those who linger too long in its presence? Which forbidden item is permanently locked away in the deepest basement of the archives? Walk through history and feel the tension of past power struggles. Transform your perspective on this architectural enigma. Start your journey now and expose the truth hidden in plain sight.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.
