In this episode we head back to earlier and perhaps simpler times to 1854 and Little Bourke street in Melbourne. Luke and Mary Lucas had immigrated to Australia in 1849 with hopes of a better life.
But by November 1854, both Mary and Luke would be dead leaving three children as orphans.
What happened to cause Luke to take up an iron bar against his wife resulting in Mary's murder and Luke's execution.
Was it the debauched life they both led in keeping a brothel or the intemperance pointed out by Judge Redmond Barry.
Join Deb from the Geelong Gaol Museum and Twisted History as we explore the story of Luke and Mary Lucas.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
