Darlinghurst is one of Australia’s oldest and most notorious inner-city suburbs, synonymous with sex, drugs and murder. Known as Razorhurst in the roaring 1920’s it was the centre of the violent razor gang wars. For over 100 years, the alleys and laneways teemed with prostitutes, dope dealers and thugs. If the walls of the old corner pubs could speak, the stories they could tell would send shivers down your spine.
