Sandy Boys


In the 1970's and early 80's the Broadmeadows trainline ran through to Sandringham so the 'rumbles' or fights occurred between the Sandy Boys and Broady Boys usually around the Sandringham foreshore and railway station on a late hot summer night. There is still graffiti around Sandringham claiming the space for the Sandy Boys (Sandy Boys Rulz) not the indecipherable tags of modern days. There were other locality based gangs in Melbourne the 3174's (based in Noble Park - 3174 was the postcode) and the Hills Posse (Endeavour Hills).


Contributor's comments: We used to live near Sandringham station and I remember hiding behind the front fence when the sandy boys came down the street. There were also the Chelsea Boys.
