Shortcut: The "Sharpie" Gangs

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

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.

You can purchase signed copies of Julie's work here.
