Bushranger

Bushranger...the outlaws of the Australian bush. The young men sometimes cast into that role by an unfortunate twist of fate - sometimes because of their thirst for adventure on a fast horse. Seldom did they realise the danger they were exposing themselves to until it was too late - an ignominious death from a policeman's bullet, or the final drop through the trapdoor of the gallows, hoping that the hangman knew how to make a proper noose so that death would be instantaneous. Some - very few - escaped that fate to lead a respectable life afterwards. Some, but very few!
