The Abduction of Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon - Part 1 of 2 Adelaide Oval, the twenty fifth of August, 1973. Norwood versus North Adelaide, a winter crowd.

The Perth Mint Swindle - The Perfect Crime? In April 1982 somebody broke into a building in Perth, stole a pad of blank cheques, and burnt the place to the ground on the way out.
