Sydney's Razor Gang True Crime Tour
Experience Sydney in a time of a war, when the Razor Gangs battled for supremacy, and the balance between good and evil sat on the finest point of the sharpest razor's edge.
- Enjoy a leisurely guided walking tour retracing the key events and places of Sydney's very own Razor Gang War.
- Peel back the curtain to reveal the bee's knees soap-opera-like lives of the most notorious and celebrated gangsters from Sydney's roaring 1920s and 1930s.
- Tread carefully through Razor Gang territory, exploring the untouched streets and alleyways of old, roamed by hatchet men that would not spill the beans...most of the time.
- Travel back to the high times of Sydney's old Speakeasy party scene, replete with button men, saps, molls and dolls.
- Book your ticket now for the Cat's Meow investigation into a dark, razor-sharp, and crime-ridden history.
Relive Sydney's Razor Gang era - a time of gangsters with larger than life personalities brutally engaged in the sharp edge of a fully-fledged gang war.
Experience the troubled tales of the city's most infamous gangsters and get a taste for what it was like living outside the law.
Meets at the front of the Darlinghurst Fire Station on Victoria Street (intersected with Kings Cross Rd and Craigend St); look for the famous Coca Cola billboard on the opposite side of the road.
...stories the city tried to forget...

Unique Experience
Our tour guide was just fantastic. The tour was worth every cent and incredibly unique. We loved hearing all the true crime razor gang stories, learning about the key players of the underworld and seeing their stomping ground. Currently looking into what other dark history tours we can take!

Fun Night Out
Our guide was full of energy and so engaging in her story telling of the Razor Gangs. So amazing to hear their stories and see where they lived and conducted business. We had dinner beforehand and enjoyed the easy walking afterwards on a balmy Friday night. Will be doing the Rocks Tour for sure.

Razor Gang Tour
We wanted to try something a little different and that’s just what we got! Our tour guide was super bubbly and a natural story teller and we enjoyed walking around areas that we never even knew existed, learning about the Razor Gang stories of the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Sometimes I think I listen to too many true crime podcasts. 😄 May be influencing my writing.
Or perhaps I am getting in the mode for my next two theatre experiences with darkstoriessydney!
This is is my poem, written in a Rondine #poetryform. Thanks to talented poets, my friends Mike mikejdennis5 Elle 5cand1e__lie5 for tags to write a piece in this form. 💚
Please read my poem twice.
The first time, read it with a romantic feel, it’s full of 💗love and matching jewellery gifts, watching his girl as she sleeps etc
Then… read it with the POV from an obsessed stranger. 🖤
I would love to see if my story of what’s happening is clear to you. Please write in the comments what’s happening!
A #rodine is a 12 line 8-10 syllable / line poem. Lines 7 and 12 are the opening reprise from line 1.
Rhyming - abba abR abbaR
Writing this was very enjoyable! Give the Rondine a try ✨💚Tagging a few but as always, open to all!

Finally getting around to admitting that the Sydney season of `The Secrets of Carmichael Manor` is done and dusted. Or should I say done and poisoned?
Thank you so much to everyone who made the trip to Experiment Farm Cottage, and supported this show. And thank you to my incredible cast - gary_leonard_belshaw, erica.nelson.stories, matt.mcdk_guitar, & captainbenmerica - who all went above and beyond to help me bring this little story to life.
I definitely struck lightning with this incredible, brilliant and talented group of humans, and I am so very grateful.
I couldn`t have asked for a better Original Cast for the premiere of my very first full-length play.
No matter where this play goes from here, any future actors will definitely have tough shoes to fill.
My heart is indeed very full 💙🩷❤️

So... I wrote an immersive play!
THE SECRETS OF CARMICHAEL MANOR is coming to Parramatta from 13th - 22nd October.
Come along to Experiment Farm Cottage and immerse yourself in an hour of murdery, time-travelling mayhem.
Here`s hoping you`ll make it back, all in one piece.
