Overview

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.
