Hoogtepunten

Come on a pub crawl through time, c.1860s to 1920s, with true crime author Michael Shelford. Travel back to a time when Collingwood’s streets were run by youth gangs known as 'larrikin pushes'. A time when Collingwood was considered by police to be “the home of Melbourne’s criminals”, and was also home to Australia’s largest illegal gambling enterprise known as John Wren’s Collingwood Tote. Youth gang wars, murder, shootings, cop bashings, illegal gambling, sly grog shops (speak easies), corruption, and most importantly - booze. Four pubs in three hours. Drinks and food are not included in the price of the tour but can be purchased along the way if you feel hungry or thirsty. Each venue practises responsible service of alcohol.

About Melbourne

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria on the Yarra River, known for laneway cafés, street art, grand Victorian buildings and a calendar full of sport.

Melbourne grew rich on the gold rush of the 1850s, and the grand buildings from that time still stand in the grid of the city centre, among them Flinders Street Station with its yellow facade and the domed Royal Exhibition Building. Federation Square and the National Gallery of Victoria stand close to the Yarra, and trams rattle along the main streets. Narrow lanes such as Hosier Lane are covered in ever-changing street art.

Top-ranked sights in Melbourne: Loch Ard Gorge, Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road.
