Episode 3 - Shanty Towns & Illegal Gambling

Have you heard of a Shanty Town? What about sly grog shops and sleeper cutter camps? These are all places that alcohol was illegal sold or traded. People who worked in these camps were working all day in the hot sun, and were on a pretty decent wage. So what else is there to do when you’re a cashed up worker? Spend it on grog! This is when chaos unfolds… queue informers. These people were called in the help police shutdown the selling of alcohol in these shanty towns. But there were also illegal gambling rings which were raided and shutdown.
