Overview

Explore King William’s Town by lamp light—Victoria’s original capital, where history and hauntings go hand in hand.

Once alive with drunken sailors, colourful ladies, and condemned convicts, this thriving seaport now whispers with the echoes of its past.

Wander eerie alleyways, hidden laneways, and long-abandoned burial grounds. Step inside Victoria’s oldest morgue and stand beneath Australia’s haunting Timeball Tower—one of only a handful still operating in the world—as ghostly tales come to life.
This is not just a tour—it’s a walk with the dead through the shadows of Australia’s most historic port.
