  • Summary

  • Fifty years ago on 8 March 1973 popular Brisbane nightclub The Whiskey Au Go Go in Fortitude Valley was firebombed in a deliberate criminal act which resulted in the deaths of 15 people. It was at the time Australia’s worst act of mass-murder - eclipsed only by Martin Bryant’s terrible act at Port Arthur in Tasmania. It stunned the entire nation and the crime has haunted Brisbane for half a century.

    In this episode Murder Trails author and publisher Jack Sim, and special guest Paul Tully, discuss the crime itself, what exactly happened, and the background of those who died.
