A follow on from our Mafia Stories of Australia, Part 1 was Black Hand in the Cane fields of QLD. Around the time the Black Hand were causing havoc in Queensland. The members of the Victorian arm were coming together also.
Aboard the Re DE 'Italia in 1922 members came to Australia. An Antonio 'The Toad' Barbaro, followed by his would be Boss, Domenico Italiano, built the foundations of Organised crime here in Australia, for a good run of 30 years until his death in the early 1960's.
The murders and attempt on life that was to follow was some of the worst that Australia had ever seen. It proved a new era for Australian Organised Crime and the Murders thereof, And the tradition still carries on to this day.
