In Her Footsteps: Women, Crime & Justice in Melbourne
Walk Melbourne's darker history through the stories of women, crime and justice this October during the Melbourne Fringe Festival 2026.
In Her Footsteps
In Her Footsteps: Women, Crime & Justice in Melbourne is a guided historical walking tour exploring the stories of women connected to some of Melbourne's most haunting crimes, tragedies and trials.
Beginning at Fed Square (opposite Flinders Street Station) and concluding at the Old Melbourne Gaol, this experience uncovers the hidden histories that still linger beneath the city's bluestone streets.
Presented by historian, author and Locked Up With History host Deb Robinson, the tour examines the lives of women who were victims, accused, condemned and remembered by history in very different ways.
Audiences will visit locations connected to Melbourne's original morgue, the courts precinct, the infamous Gun Alley Murder, the Sophia Lewis murder case, the Pyjama Girl mystery, Melbourne's waxworks museum and the stories of the five women executed in Victoria.
Dark, atmospheric and deeply grounded in Melbourne's history, In Her Footsteps offers a unique Fringe experience for lovers of history, true crime and immersive storytelling.
