Bushrangers

By Charles Finger.

With illustrations by Paul Honore. “The term ‘bushranger’ was first used by those living under the Southern Cross to signify not necessarily an outlaw, but rather something very like the chaldon of Siberia, prisoners who, rather than submit tamely to gross indignities thrust upon them by men in authority, dared to publish their own emancipation proclamations, facing unknown dangers with a slight hope of freedom.”
