Hoogtepunten

Enjoy a private, exclusive tour with your own local guide. Peel back the gentrified layers of modern Fitzroy to reveal a neighborhood built on extreme wealth and corrupted by extreme poverty. Trace Fitzroy’s dramatic transitions, from the aristocratic mansions of the 1880s "Marvellous Melbourne" boom to the squalid, overcrowded boarding houses that bred the city's most notorious criminals. Armed with a custom booklet filled with declassified crime scene photos, you will visually bridge the gap between past and present. Go beyond the police files and see how the architecture, economics, and strict liquor laws of the era created the perfect storm for gangsters like Squizzy Taylor. This is history with a dark edge, exploring the very streets where high society and the criminal underworld violently collided. Please note: The availability and accessibility of attractions may vary based on time of day and crowd conditions, ensuring each visit is a unique experience.

Route

  1. We begin your journey surrounded by wealth. Discover the opulence of the 1880s boom that built Fitzroy into Melbourne's most desirable address. In the shadow of the magnificent Royal Exhibition Building, learn how the devastating depression of the 1890s changed everything.

    20 min

  2. Stroll past Fitzroy's beautiful, boom-style Victorian terraces. But don't let the ornate facades fool you - we delve into the dark history of how these sprawling mansions were aggressively subdivided into overcrowded, squalid slums. Hear stories of boarding house life and the harsh socio-economic realities that gave birth to Fitzroy's notorious street gangs.

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.
