Journey Walks

The faces you avoided after dark.
Gangsters, pimps and prostitutes of Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, 1920s–30s.

S*x, Drugs & Razor Gangs: join us for the stories behind the mugshots at on Tuesday, 12 & 26 May.

Kings Cross is often remembered for its nightlife.

The clubs. The characters. The stories that played out after dark.

But there was always more to it.

How people lived.
Where they shopped and dined.
The buildings they moved through, and what they were before they became what we see today.

On our walks through the Cross, we go beyond the obvious; into the details that shaped everyday life, and the layers that still sit just beneath the surface.

A century ago, Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs carried a different rhythm.

Co***ne moved quietly through hidden networks.
Brothels operated behind closed doors.
Razor gangs carved out territory in the night.

Not just the names you already know but the others.
The figures who moved between worlds and kept the undercurrent alive.

Guido Calletti.
Snowy Cutmore.
Frank Green.
Fay Watson.
Nellie Cameron.
Norman Bruhn.

S*x, Drugs & Razor Gangs brings their stories to the table over dinner at Tequila Mockingbird.

A little crime, a little wine, a whisper of whiskey, and a lot of Sydney. History never tasted so good!
