Australian Serial Killers, Murderers, and Ghosts

Season 1, Ep. 4
Situated on the southern highlands of New South Wales in eastern Australia, about an hour and a half drive from Sydney, the historic village of Berrima is a welcome sight for travelers seeking to relax over a cup of tea and country-style scones before resuming their journey.

Lush, laid-back Berrima is steeped in history and has many arts and crafts shops, a museum, an old courthouse, and Australia’s oldest hotel.


What one would not expect is that this quaint little country town and the surrounding Belanglo State Forest are home to some of Australia's most notorious serial killers, and murders.
