Every Night at 7pm - Bookings Essential 

Oamaru's very own Living History Players, who for the last two seasons have delivered the award winning town story ' The Great Storm of 1868', are back this summer with a difference!

They're inviting visitors to 'Step Inside Victorian Oamaru' in a walking tour that takes them 'behind the scenes' as historic characters 'come alive' to reveal the old town's secrets and treasures.

Acclaimed as the finest intact Victorian streetscape in the southern hemisphere, Oamaru's whitestone buildings moved one 19th century observer to describe her 'as the modern Athens of the South'. Today the old town, now frozen in time, is brought alive again.

"Our aim is real people, telling real stories in real locations and in Oamaru's colonial buildings we have no finer stage" says Living History's Scott Elliffe.

As in past seasons the Living History Players comprise mainly young aspiring professional actors from New Zealand's top drama schools. This fusion of the dramatic arts into tourism is pushing new and very exciting boundaries.
