Walk Into Our Amazing Convict Past … and Beyond!

For those after a taste of history, award-winning tours are available around Port Macquarie, which was purpose-built in 1821 for our earliest ‘tourists’ – the convicts.

It was here in Port Macquarie that Mitch served as the Heritage Officer with the local council, and a visit to the region is not complete without the fascinating insights provided by these tours. Visit our walking tours page for full details.
