On Saturday we will go on the Melbourne Crime Tour, a 4 hour tour of
Melbourne’s most famous crime locations. We will have the opportunity to visit many of
the city’s traditional landmarks, locations of famous crimes as well as the
filming locations used in the highly rated television miniseries about
Melbourne’s Gangland
War. Our tour guide will tell the
stories of
Melbourne’s
most infamous crimes including: the Hoddle Street Massacre, the Queen Street Killing, the Walsh Street Police Murders, the Russell Street Bombing, the Great Bookie Robbery and the Samurai Sword Murders. The tour will end
at the Melbourne City Watch House where we will have the chance to put
ourselves in the criminals place.

I decided on this tour for two reasons.
First it will allow me the opportunity to see Melbourne’s historic landmarks which I am
sure will provide plenty of great photo opportunities. I enjoy photography and it is important to me
to have some beautiful pictures to bring back to Canada. Second, this tour also appeals to my interest
in history specifically criminal history.
I personally find criminal history really interesting and I defiantly
want to learn about Australia’s
famous crime stories. As well I think it
offers an insight into Australia’s
culture which I want to have a chance to experience during my trip.
