From colonial architecture and migration stories to farm legacies and places of worship, these layered histories offer meaningful insight into how our towns and landscapes have evolved.

Cultural tourism creates an opportunity to engage visitors with these stories through family-run museums, historic walking tours, and local festivals, when shared with care, accuracy, and a local narrative.

This phase supports tourism operators in exploring European settlement, migration, and cultural contributions through inclusive and respectful experiences. Partnerships with historical societies, descendants, local libraries, or councils can help bring these stories to life.

For ideas and practical tools, explore the ‘Getting Started’ section, which provides guidance for tourism operators seeking to explore and present European heritage in a thoughtful, inclusive, and engaging manner.
