      The Bushranger...the outlaw of the Australian Bush. The young men of the late 19th century, living outside the law, who found adventure on the back of a fast horse; an adventure fraught with danger as they were pursued by the police - always with the likelihood of a bullet to end their latest escapade, or an appointment with the hangman. Who were the young men who took to the bush to follow that dangerous profession? Why did they follow that road? Were they naturally bad, or did something happen which forced them into a life of constant danger? How did they survive when all were turned against them? Did they receive help from otherwise law-abiding folk who were sympathetic to their cause? This is the story of one of them.

      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!

      Before Ned Kelly, the infamous Australian bushranger, there was Ben Hall. In fact, it is thought by numerous people that many of Ben Hall’s exploits were copied by Ned. Hall operated in New South Wales, and his daring escapades earned him the title of ‘Brave Ben Hall’, making him a part of Australian folklore. Throughout his career outside the law he did not kill anyone, but when the Felons Apprehension Act was passed in 1865, as an outlaw he could be shot and killed without warning. As a result, he was shot by the police from ambush. The legality of his killing remains controversial.

      Destiny, that amorphous but inevitable fate over which some say we have no control, was to deal unkindly with Darkie Dixon. That was not the name he was born with. It was not even a dignified Christian name. There was no way of knowing the identity which was bestowed upon him at birth! This is the story of his life ─ how his destiny was fulfilled.
