The "Sharpie" Gangs

Australian True Crime

The Sharpies were probably Australia's most fashionable gang in 1960s/70s Australia.

Their clothing was custom made from European tailors and their hairstyles were unmistakable.

Our guest for today's episode is Author and Social Worker, Julie Mac. Julie herself was a proud Sharpie in the 1970s, and she's here to tell us who the Sharpies really were beyond the violent headlines.

You can purchase Julie's latest book "TAILS" here.
