Delve into the rich layers of Brisbane’s past on this guided stroll through the heart of the city. Beginning at Emma Miller Place—once the site of Brisbane’s second market and now a tranquil park—you’ll uncover its surprising connections to Emma Miller, the trailblazing English-born suffragist and union organiser. From there, we’ll visit the nearby rival market site before finishing at the unexpected location of the Emma Miller statue. Along the way, discover other hidden heritage gems and hear the stories that shaped our city.

Suitable for history buffs, curious explorers and all ages!
