These tours are a twist on a typical walking tour - they are fact-based but are also very personal, with tour guides describing why certain historical places, events and times have special meaning for them. The four live tours take place Saturday 26 and every Sunday after during the Melbourne Fringe Festival: * A long history of a short river is a historical walking tour along the Maribyrnong River with author and editor Jenny Lee. * 3CR broadcaster Iain McIntyre's tour Sites of resistance is a walk around the sites of Melbourne's fiercest anti-eviction battles in the 1930s depression. The tours will be broadcast on 3CR on 5 November and be posted on the People's Tour website from September 2009.
