Not your average tour guide, Dale Campisi knows the streets of Melbourne like the back of his hand, and loves blending historical titbits with local info he’s collected over the years with fellow history buffs. Building upon the success of his monthly Unlocked Tours—which track Melbourne Central’s progression from the centre of industry in the CBD through to the art-filled mall it is today—Dale will lead a fascinating and fun walking tour between Sean Godsell’s 2014 MPavilion (now located at the Hellenic Museum) to this year’s MPavilion, designed by AL_A, as part of our 2015/16 season. Dale is the author of the Melbourne Precincts city guide, the historical travel guide Melbourne Villages and the new colouring book A Day in Melbourne—which makes him the perfect person to show even the most seasoned Melburnian a side of the city they’ve never noticed before.
