The Pearl Thief's Trail

A 1910 Pearling-Era Detective Mystery — Darwin Waterfront

⏱ 60–90 MIN 📍 7 STOPS EASY AGES 10+ FROM $19.95

Darwin, 1910. The pearling luggers crowd the harbour and fortunes are made overnight. A 50-carat pearl — the finest ever pulled from these waters — has vanished from Captain Thorne's safe. No forced entry. No witnesses. Three suspects.
