Ghost Walks Historical Tour

The Award Winning City of Gosnells Ghost Walks Historical Tour are an immersive historical experience.

Local legend claims Gosnells is home to the spirits of timber mill workers and early settlers who built a thriving community in the suburbs of Orange Grove, Gosnells and Kenwick in the 1860s.

Find out for yourself on a guided moonlit tour of the City's museum at Wilkinson Homestead and Kenwick Pioneer Cemetery.

Enjoy an evening touring these local landmarks and exploring the area’s history. Along the lantern-lit way, you'll meet friendly ghost performers telling colourful tales of the many characters who lived and worked in the district more than 150 years ago.

Combining history, theatre and the great outdoors, Ghost Walks are a fantastic way to spend a moonlit night. Experience the local environment in a new way with this exciting family entertainment.

Event Details

Ghost Walks was reimagined in 2023 to highlight some of the City’s significant historical sites: Wilkinson Homestead and Kenwick Pioneer Cemetery.

Each tour night, four groups of around 25 walkers are spaced at 30-minute intervals. The first group departs at 7:00pm, and each tour takes between 90 minutes to two hours.

The tour includes shuttle bus transport to and from Kenwick Pioneer cemetery. On your return you will be given a ticket of leave from your ghostly tour guide.

These walks include some steps and uneven surfaces and prams and strollers are not permitted.

Ghost Walks are alcohol and smoke free events.
