The Courier Mail is a newspaper with a large circulation that covered widespread news on the Trocadero. The Courier Mail is published daily in Brisbane, Australia on all days except Sundays in a tabloid format. The editorial offices for the Courier are located in Brisbane's inner northern suburbs, and it is printed at Murarrie.
As the Trocadero was related to gang activity on a regular basis there are several stories concerning the Trocadero printed in The Courier Mail. An example of this is in 1938, when the Trocodero was robbed of 60 pounds at 10pm by a single assailant armed with a pistol. The article reads that: two men entered the car of Herbert Jones, the chief of staff at the time, but as they were about to drive away a sedan drew up alongside them and hit James' car. James informed the driver he should be more careful before the assailant drew a pistol on James. The assailant fled and James pursued but was halted when he was stopped by train tracks at a crossing. He was not able to pick up any evidence of the car after the event. |
