True Crime Meets Real History in This Eye-Opening Tour - I really enjoyed this tour. I was expecting to hear some dark and exciting murder stories, and while it delivered on that, it also offered so much more. We learned about crimes and events connected to Brisbane’s history, including stories related to war, settlement, and Indigenous communities. This tour gave me a deeper understanding of Brisbane’s past and what is being done today in terms of truth and reconciliation. It was informative, thought-provoking, and engaging. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in history, true crime, or a different perspective on the city.

Historical murders - Claire was a great storyteller, informing us of the dark side of Brisbane's history. Stories were unbelievable, sad and devastating. Learning about the history was very interesting. Easy, flat walking most of the time, except the last leg up to Wickham Tce.
