Australia's 'bad arse' obsession

There is something deep within the human psyche that intrigues and fascinates us with all things dangerous, powerful, mysterious and extreme. Australia's underworld possesses all such attributes. By our very nature we are in awe of those who live on the edge.

It is an undisputed fact that Australia's underworld has captured the imagination of the Australian public to the point of obsession. The recent TV series Underbelly has made such identities as Carl Williams, Jason Moran, Tony Mokbel, Andrew "Benji" Veniamin, Alphonse Gangitano and Mick Gatto household names seemingly overnight.

The second TV series Underbelly: A tale of two cities acted as a prequel to the massively successful Underbelly series which was based on the book Leadbelly. A tale of two cities was based around the marijuana trade operating out of Griffith New South Wales between the years of 1976 and 1987 and the Mr. Asia drug syndicate which operated out of Sydney.

The third installment entitled Underbelly: The Golden Mile is reported to be based around Sydney's Kings Cross district between the years of 1989 and 1995. It depicts the rise and fall of the various colourful characters and cops who battled to make their mark on Australia's most infamous stretch of real estate. Underbelly: The Golden Mile is due to go to air at some stage in 2010.
