Macabre Melbourne is a site that explores the darker side of Melbourne’s history. We pull up the cobblestones of the laneways and alleys of Melbourne to reveal the vice, crime, deprivation and awfulness squirming around underneath. Heck, in the coming months we’re even going to be offering walking tours to show you just how bad things were.

Macabre Melbourne is also a portal for the latest, greatest and strangest to hit the streets of Melbourne. Our team reviews, interviews and directs you to the best in art, culture, entertainment, film, television and gaming. If it’s a little funky, a little freaky and a little out there, we’re all over it.
