SECRET HISTORY TOUR OF MELBOURNE
A reminder that the secret history tour of inner Melbourne is on Thursday
evening next week (2 December).
The history they never taught you at school. Find out about the radical
history of Melbourne. Come with us on a tour that exposes the hidden
history behind the respectable facade of our city buildings - the real
history of conflict, riots, strikes and jailings.
Highlights include the Melbourne Stocks where prisoner were made from
slavery; Queen's Wharf, Melbourne's original wharf & scene of inumerable
riots between stirking wharfies, police & scabs; the respectable Collins St
HQ of a secret fascist army; scenes of vice squad raids & of strange
pararels between the late unlamented Jeff Kennet & his mentor "Hanging
Henry Bolte" & lots, lots more.
