Larrikins 19th Century Outrage

Before larrikin became a term of endearment, it was a word that struck fear into respectable Victorian society. This fascinating dive into 19th century Australian street culture uncovers the gangs, the scuffles, and the colourful characters who terrorised colonial cities. Think pushes, razor gangs, and working-class rebellion—long before Ned Kelly became a household name. Perfect for anyone who loves the grittier side of Australian history and wants to understand where our national cheekiness really comes from.
