Locations
Perth's largest bordello is located at 71 Burswood Road in Burswood. It ceased operating for two days in May 2002 as US sailors wore out sex workers.[2][3] In July 2011, two men smashed through the front door at about 12:30 am and demanded money from the till.[4]
The only licensed bar and bordello in Australia is located at 32 Grimwade Street in Mitchell, Canberra.[5] Marketed as an upmarket luxury bordello,[6] Kenworthy purchased it in 2014.
A premises was opened in Kalgoorlie in 2000, marketed as one of the only working brothel museums in the world.[7] In January 2007, Kalgoorlie's Hay Street brothel strip turned to tourism offering tours in a bid to keep alive,[8] but the premises ceased operating as a bordello in 2012.[9] After housing a restaurant, it was put onto the market in 2019.[10]
In December 2016, Langtrees bought out Darwin Escorts, which became known as Langtrees VIP Darwin and Chillout Lounge before being closed in 2022.[11]
