So much for the good ol’ days says Citysearch®
Wayne | 28 June 2009
Gangs of thugs roaming the streets with razors. Open brawls over drugs and booze. Ruthless criminals who murder at the drop of a hat.
More reasons to stay indoors and watch Masterchef?
No.
Welcome to Sydney in the 1920s and 1930s: when the grog was sly, the fights were for keeps and even a visit to the barbers was a death-defying experience.
In this look at a fascinating part of our history, Citysearch® interviews Nerida Campbell about Sydney’s early 20th century criminal underbelly and the women that ruled the roost – women like Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine.
Nerida is curator of the Femme Fatale exhibition, which is running at the Sydney’s Justice and Police Museum until April 2010.
iPhone users who have been waiting for Apple to release a turn-by-turn navigation product needn’t wait any longer – this week the first Australian turn-by-turn, voice guided navigation application for the iPhone was launched and our very own Whereis® is the sole mapping provider for Australia and NZ maps.
