A cluster of embassies lines the leafy streets of Yarralumla, but beneath these dignified facades swirl tales that have shaped Canberra’s hidden identity.

This self-guided audio tour unlocks secret histories, rivalries, and faded glories most travelers never glimpse. Stroll at your own pace through a landscape where quiet power plays out in surprising ways.

What drove spies to risk everything behind the polished doors of the High Commissions? Which shadowy meeting at Hotel Canberra nearly tore a government apart? And why did a prime minister leave behind an oddly coded letter here one winter night?

Follow winding paths from embassy lawns to stately halls and catch the pulse of intrigue below every manicured hedge. Every stop crackles with suspense, diplomacy, and forgotten drama waiting for rediscovery.

Step forward now and see Yarralumla through new eyes—where every official crest guards an untold story.
