The criminal underworld of Sydney in the 1840s

[@Dunawori1957]

Excellent. I love the way that this has been filmed and all the information in it

[@dazwall5092]

Great video, the decade prior to the gold rush. His accounts are a very clean version of what was going on during those Colonial days. Then the gold rush started in 1851 and the dynamics of the criminal underworld changed.

[@barrygiddey9139]

Very interesting video thanks for that!

[@leanneblake4248]

Fabulous , love it. Thank you so much.

[@Jeansieguy]

I did not know any of this before, thanks.

[@tompchromedome]

now days they are called politicians

[@overworlder]

we'll lose the gains of centuries and what rights we do have with that attitude

[@tippngthevelvet]

Bringing political and social history alive, it's fabulous.

[@petersmith9771]

Outstanding. Would have loved to live in those days. Great. Excellent.

No you wouldn’t trust me these weren’t the best of days especially in Sydney they were boring depressing riddled with disease and if your a person of colour by any chance you wouldn’t last long

Interesting how the superintendent has an Australian accent despite not being from Australia.

brilliant!!!!

[@EdwardM-t8p]

A new city in a new colony on a new continent and yet it's full of Victorian slums like Bloomfield where people are crowded into the most _dirty_ places!

dose any body think that it is strange how developed sydney is in the photos only 50 years after the first fleet.i think this story is made up so we dont notice these things.i would rather see a story on some of the people who built the place.not a made up crook

[@Jimmison007]

I am sure there are many great stories about Sydney out there you just need to find them.

[@BaChNiEr]

No shit these photo's are from after 1840, the first photograph ever taken was in 1839... The story is true and the photos are there to set the scene.

[@MrsTrohman666]

I don’t fault them for using early photos of sydney. People react well to seeing actual photos as opposed to paintings etc

[@adamconnolly7519]

Why aren’t there any photos from the building of the Egyptian Pyramids!!!!

[@xzz6845]

Australian organised crime was way organised back in the day it’s stopped becoming organised in the 2010s and starting becoming a social media flex 😂😂😂
