Leichhardt lies five kilometres to the west of Sydney city centre in New South Wales, Australia. Named after Ludwig Leichhardt, the doomed explorer, it came into being as a municipality in 1873, but the tales this suburb has to tell go back way further.
Find out about the highway woman on Parramatta Road, the robbery gang who duped a delivery driver with a fake shopfront, the curious case of the murder at Ramsay's Bush, the bodies still buried beneath a surprising location and much, much more.
So please step in and immerse yourself in a world that lies underneath the everyday in the inner west of Sydney.
The author is a long-time Leichhardt resident and local history buff.
