Hi, I’m Mitch. A product manager by trade, a curious wanderer by habit, and someone who firmly believes cities are best discovered on foot.

I spend my working life designing digital experiences for museums and cultural spaces, which basically means I’m obsessed with good stories, hidden details, and the little things most people walk straight past. Melbourne is full of them. Grand history, odd corners, tiny rebellions, beautiful accidents — it’s all here if you know where to look.

This tour isn’t about rattling off dates or pretending to be your high school history teacher. It’s about noticing. Looking up. Slowing down. Connecting dots between past and present. And maybe seeing a street you thought you knew in a completely different way.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or you’ve lived here for years, I hope this walk surprises you — and makes you fall for Melbourne just a little bit more.

Let’s get into it.
