The Shark Arm Case Copyright on photo belongs to owner. A Million to One ChanceANZAC DAY, 1935. A shark exhibited at the Coogee Aquarium vomits up a human arm, bearing a distinctive tattoo. Investigators identify the arm as belonging to Jim Smith, a small-time crook turned police informant, who has been missing for three weeks. What’s more, the arm was severed with an axe, rather than being bitten off! Suspicion falls on the forger Patrick Brady, named by Smith in connection with the sinking of the luxury yacht, The Pathfinder, and subsequent attempts to collect the insurance. But finding Brady, let alone the truth, means taking a deep dive into Sydney’s criminal underworld. Secrets of the DeepSmuggling, insurance fraud and now murder. Crimes that seem to point towards an unlikely pair of Sydney boat-builders. Reginald Holmes and Albert Stannard are respectable businessmen with loving families – even if Smith did work for Holmes at the time of the Pathfinder incident, how could they possibly be involved in such sordid goings-on? In a city where cocaine is illegal and booze restricted, there is money to be made – a lot of money. Their alibis are watertight but rumour has it that Holmes cherishes some bad habits. A holiday house in Cronulla may hold the answer, but so may the murky waters of Gunnamatta Bay. And where, after all, is Patrick Brady? Detective or Devil?Incorruptible, unflappable, Detective Sergeant Frank Matthews has cracked some of Sydney’s toughest cases. His commitment to justice is absolute, even if his methods are not always the most refined. Before him now is an opportunity that could seal his reputation and take him to the very top of the force - if he finds Smith’s murderer and makes them talk, it will expose a net of corruption entangling the entire waterfront. Lies, guns and money, and the criminal code of silence stand in his way, but Matthews will let nothing stop him. No matter what lengths he has to go to, or who gets crushed underfoot. Wives on the WarpathGladys Smith wants to know what really happened to her husband. Grace Brady wants to keep her husband out of gaol. Burned by the scandal surrounding The Pathfinder, Inie Holmes just wants it all to go away. It may be a man’s world, but that doesn’t mean they’ll sit quietly while police and journalists tear up their lives. Besides, you know what they say – you don’t just marry the man, you marry the business! Even the wife of an aquarium owner might find herself doing things she never imagined she’d do. With so many unanswered questions and so much at stake, only one thing is sure – there’s blood in the water and sharks, of all kinds, are circling. Sydney harbour is in for one hell of a show!

I came here 4 years ago. Show change. This is a must see. The display is fascinating. These photos are the best crime photos I have ever seen. The quality of the photos and details is excellent given the time period. The museum has an impressive and completely unique archive. I liked the low-key review, which depicts the same horrific moments as police and criminals. The death mask was also interesting. Horrible weapons can be seen. A nice, but mythical display. Re-engineering the court case that allows you to dress up and participate is very special, so that everyone can gain insight into the terrible world. I recommend this method to everyone who visits. Limited opening hours are a problem though. You need a day or two in the middle. I have identified it alongside Freemantle Prison in Western Australia and Port Arthur in Tasmania as one of the main destinations for conviction.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge in Australia is a classic Sydney project. It is said that more than three million people have so far climbed the Harbour Bridge in uniform blue clothing, whether it is early morning, day, dusk or night. You can climb this bridge and enjoy the city view of Sydney in all directions. After climbing up, you can get a free photo and a certificate.

We visited here on our first day in Sydney. The museum looks small but has a rich history. We loved the exhibition area on the first floor of the museum about Catalans and indigenous people, and the media introduced here (audiovisual, interactive display, painting, artifacts) restore history. The building itself is worth taking pictures. The entrance is a bit hard to find, in an alley, you have to pay attention to roadside instructions. It takes about 2 hours to visit all areas. All in all, highly recommend visiting this museum in Sydney and it is free!

Traveling to Australia, this stop came to Sydney, to the rocky area of Sydney to punch in. Passing by, I saw this museum, located opposite the Sydney Opera House, founded in May 1989 and officially opened in 1991, collecting and exhibiting contemporary art in Australia, Asia Pacific and around the world. Early owned by the University of Sydney and largely funded by the South Wales Government and the Australian Parliament since 2001. The museum has three floors and more than 4,000 pieces, of which 3,060 were donated by artist John Power, mostly post-1960 artwork. The museum is open from 10am to 5pm daily, and is extended on Wednesday to 9pm, with Christmas breaks and no fees for visits.
