Historical Crimes, Gangsters & Lolly Shops Walking Tour in Melbourne
Location
- Take a walk through downtown Melbourne and learn of an era in which there was much more on offer at the local confectionery store than just lollies and soft drinks
- Explore Melbourne’s underworld like those in the 1850’s to 1930’s, an era in which Melbourne’s downtown slum district, ‘Little Lon’, was mostly run by women
- Learn about the battle for supremacy, madams who stood their ground against well-known gangsters such as Squizzy Taylor, and an all-female crime syndicate
- Stop outside buildings which were once brothels and sly grog shops and hear the stories of what occurred within their walls and on the streets and laneways around them
