Sit back and relax as you're taken to your first stop, the iconic Australia House. Here you'll learn about the historical significance of this grand building, which has been a symbol of Australian heritage in Britain for over a century.

Next, visit St. Mary-le-Bow Church, an important landmark where Sir Arthur Phillip, the first Governor of Australia, used to worship and learn about his voyage with the First Fleet in 1787.
