Glenelg is one of South Australia's most beloved seaside destinations, but beneath its sun soaked foreshore lies a history of violence, tragedy, and unanswered questions. On this walking tour, you'll trace the crimes, scandals, and dark moments that unfolded in the very streets around you. Starting at the Glenelg Pioneer Memorial, where promises of fairness quickly unravelled, you'll follow the Patawalonga River past the site of a New Year's Day tragedy in 1932, through streets where a housekeeper met a violent end, and past the former Berkshire Court Hotel where a single punch ended a man's life. At Millers Corner, Constable Albert Ring was shot dead in 1908 after a humiliated fisherman swore revenge. The tour ends outside the house where a quiet billiard saloon keeper lost his lease, his mind, and ultimately destroyed his entire family in what newspapers called The Glenelg Tragedy.
