Learn about Sydney’s convict past with a folklorist

Journey into Sydney’s colonial prison past with a historian and folklorist at a UNESCO World Heritage site and hear illuminating stories about the lives of those who lived here. • At Parliament House, I’ll explain the convict transportation system—who came and why—and share tales of the vicious cat-o’-nine-tails, treadmills, chain gangs, female workhouses, and foolhardy escapees. • Tour the museum at Hyde Park Barracks to learn about the thousands of men, women, and children the prison held or housed, and how Aboriginal communities were profoundly affected by the relentless push of colonial expansion. • Hear about a typical day in the life of a convict—from their uniforms and work to their food and treatment. I’ll sing rare long-lost convict-era ballads that bring their tragic stories to life. You’ll leave with new insights into the unique cultural identity of Australia and its history.

Discover convict-built Darlinghurst Gaol with a historian

Go back in time with this historian-led walk around Old Darlinghurst Gaol, a former Australian prison that was built by convicts in the 1820s. • We’ll visit the site of the first public hanging in Sydney (10,000 people reportedly showed up to witness the notorious event), see a women’s prison cellblock, and pass a former chapel. • We’ll also imagine the lives of the prison’s famous felons, including bushrangers, serial killers, and eccentrics. The poet Henry Lawson frequented the gaol in the early 1900s for his disorderly conduct and non-payment of debts. His poem, One Hundred and Three, is believed to refer to his time in the gaol; the title is a nod to his prison number. • You’ll also learn the purpose of the tunnel under the complex, which operated as a prison for more than 70 years before being converted into a college. We’ll end our 90-minute walk at The Rusty Rabbit, a cafe where I’m happy to answer your questions, sing a song or two and share more scandalous stories about Sydney’s secret seedy past.

Kings, Queens & Clubs of the Cross

ON THIS UNIQUE EXPERIENCE: You'll uncover the notorious secrets & scandals of Sydney's historic red-light strip with a professional guide & storyteller. Kings Cross: once a bourgeois neighbourhood of colonial mansions looking over the harbour, this inner city suburb began to transform into Sydney's late-night playground of vice and entertainment by the the 1920's & '30s. Amidst the bustling bohemian streets & neon lights, razor-wielding gangs lurked in dark alleys and crime-queens Kate Leigh & Tilly Devine battled for underworld supremacy over the sly-grog, dope and sex trade. By the 1960s & '70s, the Golden Mile of Kings Cross buzzed with local & international revellers who flocked to its infamous stretch of nightclubs, strip-shows & go-go bars. Dubbed in the media as Sin City, the growing underbelly of the area only increased as colourful club owners paid off the cops and installed organised criminal empires. By 1975 the neighbourhood was even embroiled in one of Sydney's most scandalous cold-case murder mysteries. This tour will bring to life the local characters, visiting rock-stars & forgotten flavours the Cross's Golden Age. It will reveal the quirky & glamorous Art Deco street-scapes of Potts Point; discuss the contemporary cafe & club culture; and delve into the controversial history of lust, luxuriance & long-nights that left its mark on so many, for so long.
