Overview

Try to keep your jaw from dragging on the ground as we walk through the inner city hearing the dark yet true crime stories from the 19th century.

Dunedin, being a gold rush town, brought characters in from all over to exist together in this isolated city at the bottom of the world.

We will briefly touch on why and how Dunedin was settled for context then we will walk the main areas of the inner city seeing such landmarks as the favourite little Fairlie steam engine, the old victorian era, gothic revival prison, the Flemish Renaissance style railway station, Anglican Cathedral, the newly refurbished high street, George Street ending with the utterly depraved storey of murder and attempted suicide in the one of many notorious lanes that still exist.

See the best of Dunedin while hearing the worst.
