SYDNEY 1929: Tilly Devine & Kate Leigh rule the underworld. The Razor Gang Wars erupt.  Blood flows. Tour their territory of RAZORHURST.

 We meet under Coca Cola sign top of William Street Kings Cross and end at Strand Hotel corner William & Crown Streets East Sydney.

You'll walk a 2-hour guided tour of RAZORHURST, which covers the historic areas of Kings Cross, Darlinghurst and East Sydney. Walk is mostly level with one set of stairs optional.  You'll stop to view Blood Alley, where the first major battle occurred; Kellett Street where the second gang battle occurred; see the lane where Guido Calletti was murdered; Phil Jeffs 50:50 Club, the hub of illegal gambling, cocaine and prostitution; the lanes of East Sydney, where Tilly's brothels were located; Tilly's house, the HQ of prostitution; the Tradesmen's Arms, where Tilly's gang drank and conspired, the site of the Snow Queen Kate Leigh's house in Riley Street where she shot and killed Snowy Prendergast, the Strand Hotel where Frank Green shot and killed Barney Dalton and wounded Wally Tomlinson.

 Then it’s time for you and friends to visit one of our local historic hotels; The Strand, The East Village or The Lord Roberts. Or drink and dine at Love Tilly Devine.
