# Event Details

- **Event Name**: River Torrens Dark History Cruise
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Fri, 17 Apr, 2026 at 09:30 pm (+09:30)
- **Event Description**: Once it was decided to establish a settlement, the River Torrens stood out as a very convenient source of water, in a lush, quiet surrounding. The River has certainly seen lots of activity, from recreational swimming and rowing, to body disposal and prowling spots of some of Adelaide’s most notorious criminals.
We will show you where bodies have been found, dumped and drowned in the Torrens. Come aboard and sit over the spot Mrs Habibulta had part of her body discovered in the River, leading to the police draining the River to find the rest of her.
If you’ve been on tours and heard about John Balaban, see where he attacked a young couple, with no provocation, before going on to commit his other hideous crimes. One of Adelaide’s least likeable fellows, Balaban was hung at the Old Adelaide Gaol, which we will cruise past, with only a few guards in attendance. No family, no friends, no one mourned the passing of Balaban when he finally paid for his crimes, here and abroad.
Hear about our own investigations at the Festival Theatre and learn about it’s own development, with remnants of the original buildings still beneath it! You will discover what recordings were taken during the investigation and discover who it might be that was talking to us.
Join us on the Popeye and relax, have a drink from the bar on the boat and enjoy the River that has seen it all!
