Adelaide CBD Ghost Crime Tour
Since 1836, Adelaide has become the home to some of the worlds most notorious crimes in Australia. Come with us as our tour takes you to times past where you will discover some of Adelaide's most infamous murders.
We give you the details of a crime whilst standing at the exact location where it took place. Visit the locations of stabbings and shootings and view some of Adelaide's own haunted buildings.
Hear the story of John Balaban who tied up, stabbed and mutilated 29 year old Zora Kusic, and view the building where Arthur Hines murdered his 23 year old wife on Hindley Street back in 1910.
We show you where Spadge left some of his victims on Hindley street and show you the building that Mrs Webster from Cumberland Park jumped to her death. Listen to the tragedy of Hilda Beryl Jones who was shot in an office along Currie Street.
