Crimes of Perth Walking Tour

  • Uncover Perth's criminal underbelly — executions, gangland murders, opium dens and 1980s corporate crime
  • Walk the city and Northbridge precincts as the sun sets
  • Hear untold true stories, from colonial-era crimes to the Nazis and Communists of 1930s Perth
  • Finish with a drink at a historic pub

Overview

Meet your guide at the Perth Town Hall and explore the city and Northbridge precincts as the sun starts to set, uncovering Perth's criminal underbelly. Prepare to be shocked: colonial-era executions, murders in central Perth (including one at Government House), the corporate crime of the 1980s, gangland killings, houses of ill-repute, gambling and opium dens in Northbridge — and the activities of Nazis and Communists in Perth during the 1930s and 40s.

We've dug deep to uncover untold stories, thoroughly researched and delivered with sensitivity. The tour covers sensitive topics including crimes against children and the assassination of Indigenous leaders, so it's suitable for adults only. Includes a drink at a pub at the end of the tour.
