    Federation Square

    From Flinders station onwards, our attention turns towards taking professional photographs of you in front of iconic Melbourne backgrounds. (in addition to some we will already have taken along our walk so far).

High-quality cameras and external lights will also be used to ensure you get photographs to remember your Melbourne walk. These will be far superior to what a phone camera can capture.Within 48 hours of the end of the tour, you will receive high-resolution edited images of yourself/ your group to download and keep.
