Bloody Dames of Darlinghurst Crime Tour
Overview
In the 1920s, Sydney was the crime capital of the world — a city ruled not by gangsters in suits, but by razor-wielding women. This walking tour takes you through Razorhurst, where cocaine queens, brothel madams, and corrupt cops built bloody empires. Meet Tilly Devine, Kate Leigh, and Nellie Cameron — the real-life crime bosses who made Sydney more dangerous than Chicago. If you love true crime, scandal, and stories too wild for the history books, this tour is unmissable.
