John was born in Brisbane in 1966. With a keen interest in history and a diverse background as a tradesman, teacher, and operator of his own day tour company, he has gained a wonderful insight into Brisbane’s rich past.

Extensively travelled, John genuinely believes that Brisbane is one of the best places in the world to live, and he loves sharing this with visitors.

Recently, he considered starting another day tour company offering bus tours. However, he decided against it, realising that one of the downsides of living in Brisbane is the sheer amount of development taking place, along with the constant roadworks and traffic issues that come with it.

So instead, John decided to create this walking tour – a way to explore Brisbane’s history that isn’t affected by traffic and can be enjoyed at any time of the day.
