Overview

JACK SIM presents THE ORIGINAL FORTITUDE VALLEY CRIME TOUR - RESEARCHED BY LOCAL HOMICIDE HISTORIAN Jack Sim - running Brisbane's Crime Tours for 25 years

Discover the seedy underbelly of Brisbane in the 1970s/80s on this 2 hour guided walking tour through infamous Fortitude Valley – where illegal casinos, strip-clubs and brothels were the norm – and visit the site of the notorious and tragic Whiskey Au Go Go firebombing! The events in this place led to the notorious Fitzgerald Inquiry into corruption. Crooked crims lurk on every corner, and there are many shadowy tales to be told… Our competition completely this copied original tour, like they did our other BLOODY BRISBANE CBD CRIME TOUR. Disgusting, unethical behaviour.

Brisbane’s original true crime tours are researched and operated by crime-writer Jack Sim, publisher of the Murder Trails Series Podcast and the books BLOODY BRISBANE Volumes 1 & 2.
