Yeah that's the story. From what I read he was one of the few bushrangers that was actually half decent. A lot of them were not real nice. There were a few who were down right mad men.
Our local bushrangers were Sam poo who reportedly was the only Chinese bushranger. He was caught at a creek called fly blowers ck.... Believe it or not lol. The governors were around here as well. Not real nice blokes though.
