Sin and the City – Kings Cross vice & bohemia Walking History Tour, Potts Point
Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes
This History Tour has been curated by heritage professionals to uncover the notorious secrets, stories & scandals of Kings Cross ¬ó Sydney's historic red-light strip. Once a bourgeois neighbourhood boasting harbour-side mansions & Victorian villas, this bustling pocket of Sydney was transformed by bohemia, entertainment & modernist architecture during the roaring 1920's Jazz Age. Amidst the sparkling lights of its inter-war years, The Cross also became riddled with backstreet bordellos, sly-grog stores, razor-wielding gangs, crime-lords (and ladies), murders, mysteries & martinis. By the 1960s, the streets teamed with revellers visiting its red-light strip of neon fantasies, nightclubs & local eccentrics ¬ó dubbed in the media as ‘Sin City'. Crime and corruption continued as new heavyweights such as The Boss of The Cross took the reigns, and by 1975 the neighbourhood was embroiled in one of Sydney's most scandalous cold-case murder mysteries. Uncover this unique story in style!
