BLACKBURN SOUTH SHARPS Were an infamous street gang from Melbourne Australia in the 1970's !! Which have been featured in several magazine articles, TV and radio interviews, and most importantly many art galleries around Australia and even in Berlin, Germany have exhibited their photos since the year 2000 to public and critical acclaim. They were the first men in Australia to pierce their ears and wear earings, the wore clothes that were mostly made in Melbourne except for high cut Lee or Levis Jeans. There wore personally custom designed machine knitted stripped woollen cardigans, made by local knitters Sam's or Conte. They also wore Bond's T shirts with their suburb/gang name proudly printed on their back, there also wore platform or chisel to shoes that were also hand made in Melborne by either Venus Shoes in Swan Street Richmond or Acropolis Shoes. BUT most important of all was their unique hair style which was cropped short all over except at the back leaving rat tails which were usually dyed blonde.
