Broady Boys
Originally a reference to a legendary gang of street toughs from Broadmeadows, a poor outer North-Western Melbourne suburb. The name was commonly used as a generic term to refer to any group of rough-looking teenage boys loitering in a public place in the North-Western Melbourne Suburbs (usually around a train station). The legend was that the Broady Boys would travel on the Broadmeadows line, into the gradually more affluent suburbs, looking for victims to harass: Watch out for the Broady Boys down the station. Also, Broadie Boys.
Contributor's comments: I grew up in Sunbury a town 15 min from Broadmeadows. I am 27 now. We were told stories about the Broady Boys from the generation before us. The Broady Boys would on occasions come in car loads to rumble with the Sunbury Boys, I`ve heard some real whoppers!
Contributor's comments: Whilst working in Altona in the early 1990's moccasin shoes went by the name Broady Wedding Shoes.
Contributor's comments: In the 1970's and early 80's the Broadmeadows trainline ran through to Sandringham so the 'rumbles' or fights occurred between the Sandy Boys and Broady Boys usually around the Sandringham foreshore and railway station on a late hot summer night. There is still graffiti around Sandringham claiming the space for the Sandy Boys (Sandy Boys Rulz) not the indechirerable tags of modern days. There were other locality based gangs in Melbourne the 3174's (based in Noble Park- 3174 was the postcode) and the Hills Posse (Endeavour Hills).
