Today, as many of us enjoy a public holiday, let’s take a moment to reflect on the deeper stories of Australia’s history.

Did you know that Australia has so many other significant dates to honour? While 26th January marks the arrival of the First Fleet, for many, it represents loss and sorrow for many First Nations people. It’s a day to reflect on how we might celebrate a future that unites us all.

This long weekend, explore the stories that matter—from the Noongar Dreaming of Derbarl Yerrigan (Swan River) to the Kaurna people's Tandanya (Adelaide).

Together, we can walk through history with open minds and hearts. 🖤💛❤️

This Australia Day, we reflect on the shared histories and vibrant cultures of our cities—Adelaide and Perth—and acknowledge the First Nations peoples who have cared for this land for tens of thousands of years. 🌏✨

In Adelaide, the Kaurna people call the area Tandanya, the 'place of the red kangaroo.' In Perth, the Noongar people’s stories flow along Derbarl Yerrigan (Swan River). These stories are woven into the fabric of our cities, past and present. 🖤💛❤️

Today, let’s take a moment to honour these enduring cultures and the rich histories of the lands we call home.

Let’s journey together with respect and curiosity. ✨

Looking to escape the summer heat? 🌞☀️ The best stories are waiting to be discovered at the coolest times of the day—dawn and dusk.

🌅 In Adelaide: Stroll along the River Torrens as the city wakes, or explore heritage gems at twilight, when the light is just right.

🌄 In Perth: Wander the Swan River foreshore at sunrise, or let the city’s history glow as the sun dips below the horizon.

Our self-guided tours are perfect for those quiet, magical moments when the day feels a little calmer, and a lot cooler. Ready to explore?

Adelaide’s heritage shines brightest when the sun dips low.

🌅 Start your evening with a Stories Unseen sunset tour and uncover the layers of history hidden in the city’s most remarkable heritage buildings. 🏛️ Every brick, every façade, has a story to tell.

🌿Then, step into a world of glowing art at Chihuly Nights in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. Dale Chihuly’s glass sculptures transform the gardens into a dreamscape, with light and colour unlike anything you’ve seen before.

Why not pair these two unforgettable experiences?

Torrens Lake in the early 20th century vs. today.

Torrens Lake was created in 1881 in order to promote recreational use of the river in the CBD. Located in the heart of the City of Adelaide, the lake is used for many activities including rowing, dragon boaring, powerboat racing and of course Popeye trips!

🤐 The secret is out! 🤐 Stories Unseen have broadened our horizons to the City of Churches! Did you guess it from our clues? We didn't make it too hard for you! The new tour is officially available on the Stories Unseen app and will be available on our website from tomorrow morning!

Stories Unseen is made to work with your schedule, meaning you can purchase the tour and then do it whenever you like. Day time with the kids? Great. Night time with your friends? Even better. A Perth CBD walking tour is the perfect catch-up for you and your pals. You can gossip and fill each other in, while learning something new about your own city. ➡️ Boom and Bust Tour is perfect if you have a pal who is visiting or new to the West (the best state in our opinion) ➡️ Murder and Macabre Tour is for those who like things a little spookier ➡️ Trailblazing Women is like motivation in a bottle for you and your gal pals ➡️ Tales on Tap is history crossed with alcoholic beverages, how could you say no? Choose your perfect CBD walking tour on our website and complete any time of the day.. or night.

A big thank you to our friends at Innovation Nation for featuring Stories Unseen on their TV show. We had so much fun filming and chatting about all things Stories Unseen.

What is better than a normal pub crawl? A HISTORICAL pub crawl! Alcohol, and the city's pubs, have been front-and-centre of Perth's colonial history, since first contact - so why not have a couple of pints while touring the Perth CBD and re-living some forgotten moments? The Historical Pub Crawl will take you through some quintessentially Western Australian stories such as: 🍻The former Palace Hotel – saved by the Palace Guards 🍻The Stables – now fit for a Prince 🍻The second City Hotel – why you should never ask a lady’s occupation 🍻Perth’s former markets – where & when you could walk your livestock down the main street 🍻The Globe – the place for ‘late night’ refreshments Purchase the walking tour and get organised in your group chat now! https://loom.ly/JST--lA
