and bonnie and al suppose we'll
7:47
, deep into their stories
7:49
to find out how legends were born
7:52
and continue to grow often
7:54
long after they're gone i'm
7:57
nathan wireless and this
7:59
wireless and the outlaws
8:09
ned kelly is the archetype all social
8:11
banned it who reflected the injustices
8:14
of life in the early australian
8:16
colonies the robbed
8:18
banks and distributed some of his ill
8:20
gotten gains to the poor the
8:23
was also a violent man whose slade
8:25
police officers and tormented his enemies
8:27
with impunity where
8:30
does the real man end and
8:32
folk hero begin to
8:36
understand the real ned kelly
8:39
we need to understand australia
8:41
in the eighteen hundreds
8:42
the
8:46
australian colonies in the nineteenth
8:48
century or a unique melting pot
8:51
in seventeen seventy explore
8:53
captain james cook had claimed a
8:55
land for the kingdom of great britain it's
8:59
not long after and seventeen eighty
9:01
eight when the first penal colony
9:03
is established under the flag of kings
9:05
colors at what will become sydney
9:10
with british prisons bursting penal
9:12
colonies separate criminals
9:14
from society by transporting them
9:16
to far flung corners of the empire
9:20
transportation as the sentences known
9:23
is seen as more humane alternative
9:25
to execution but
9:27
it takes more than career criminals
9:29
and murderers to build an empire
9:32
petty crimes are also punished with
9:35
transportation they
9:37
are assigned as indentured servants
9:39
to other settlers or are given
9:42
time as laborers there's
9:44
like the population of britain's crowded
9:46
prisons many of these undesirables
9:49
are also social outcasts
9:51
even before their sentencing by
9:54
virtue of their birth
9:56
graham seal
9:58
is professor of focus or curtain
10:00
university and purse and
10:02
author of hell am i died
10:04
game the legend of ned kelly
10:08
the tissue transportation is
10:10
the theories feature very heavily in
10:12
it will transportation britain any way to
10:14
it's series and paw colonies and
10:16
no difference australia goes somewhere
10:19
political prisoners of as you side i'd been
10:21
arrested and tried size both i'm trying
10:23
to decide british authorities this
10:25
because we just people who'd committed crimes one
10:27
kind or another but by that stage
10:29
across my stories by the library happy
10:31
about the british will be the english in particular then
10:34
because that was that to play out here as well
10:39
rising republicanism in ireland
10:41
following the great famine and growing
10:44
political strife had swelled britain's
10:46
prisons with irish men and women
10:49
who were subsequently transported to
10:51
the colonies that
10:53
australia isn't merely a penal colony
10:56
for the british it also contains
10:58
colonies of settlement these
11:01
been built on the premise that the land belongs
11:03
to no one i'm an older
11:05
been transported to australia sure
11:08
i'd also settlers have been encouraged
11:11
to move here largely from britain
11:13
and ireland their
11:15
job is to till the soil that supposedly
11:18
is up for grabs the
11:20
settlers have pushed further inland
11:22
establishing their own towns and villages
11:25
scant regard for the aboriginal people
11:27
they've encountered along the way australia's
11:31
indigenous population has been almost
11:34
totally overlooked where's
11:36
the net they've been brutally persecuted
11:39
married off their ancestral lands
11:42
forced into camps and pressed into service
11:44
for the europeans
11:47
and then the gold rushes come in id fifties
11:49
and sixties and population increases
11:51
dramatically ah gold rushes
11:53
are over the population has increased
11:55
but most of my distortion and
11:57
i've got nowhere to go said as a great enterprise
12:00
iran colonial governments to or the call
12:02
i've been delayed though i
12:04
opened up the land to what call free selectors
12:06
was selectors which is all fine well
12:09
the there's already a group on land
12:11
the previously displaced indigenous inhabitants
12:13
of course and they called squatters they
12:16
can't agree forgot their generational to earlier
12:19
and done to got government grants the
12:21
or simply sorted out the middle of nowhere
12:23
and because i've been there for hours many is a
12:25
was everybody said i well it's your land

edward kelly is born into one of these
13:03
selector farming families in
13:05
december eighteen fifty four
13:09
his father read kelly is
13:11
a tough irishman transported
13:13
to australia for pigs fast and eighteen
13:15
forty two following
13:17
released from prison he moved
13:19
to the colony of victoria and
13:21
finds work on farm north of melbourne
13:25
these smitten with ellen quinn
13:27
the daughter of his employer and soon
13:30
the couple or married not
13:32
long before they've built a tiny to room
13:34
house in which they all start their family
13:38
edward or ned as
13:40
he will become known is the third
13:42
of their eight children and
13:45
the eldest boy the
13:47
family are proud irish catholics
13:50
and their resentment of their treatment in
13:52
colonies and the british empire
13:55
will set the tone for ned's short
13:57
life the
13:59
same guy and fighters protestantism
14:02
than catholicism was asked for
14:04
the first twenty thirty years i guess of the
14:06
i'm saying so it wasn't allowed
14:08
secondly it wasn't to look favorite
14:10
have gone either that catholics are really allowed
14:12
to worship in public and
14:15
that kind of situation which was that flies into
14:17
the can lead saga to some extent because
14:19
sir kelly's themselves are catholic
14:22
irish and selectors
14:24
so they fill out working class
14:26
suppose it's i but selectors my
14:29
are from the irish background even if
14:31
they born here as they kill was big into
14:33
the kids born in a might encourage
14:35
those kind of images and ideas of
14:37
irish antagonism towards english
14:40
and of courses or said there was a catholics
14:42
and there was pretty unhappy about the situation
14:44
i find themselves in it's
14:47
not an easy life harsh
14:50
laws and even harsher landscape
14:53
the
14:53
unscrupulous farmers and corrupt
14:55
officials and a lawless
14:57
population not
14:59
unlike america as wild west a
15:03
big difference to the dynamic here is
15:05
a large convict population transported
15:08
for minor offenses and finding
15:10
themselves on the other side
15:12
of the earth often
15:15
sentenced to hard labor they
15:17
work the land on farms and
15:19
join works games on public projects
15:22
usually employed outside any
15:25
find opportunities to escape convicts
15:28
flee into the thick bush a
15:30
wild and unforgiving land there
15:33
are numerous tales of gangs have escaped
15:35
petty criminals turning cannibal
15:38
before survivors read civilization
15:40
again only to be taught
15:42
and hanged as murderers the
15:45
other prisoners serve out their sentences
15:47
and are released commit further
15:49
crimes and sli into the bush
15:52
to avoid going back into prison and
15:54
backbreaking labor these
15:57
men who live as outlaws
15:59
and the have the forested areas are
16:01
known as bush rangers
16:06
on the committee closers by skype into the bush
16:09
in order to survive i brought paper on the roads
16:11
they get to be called bush rangers
16:14
and that continues on after
16:16
com be two years as a and the gold
16:18
era begins the people
16:21
who are cobras ranges been a
16:23
basically robbing out coaches rather
16:25
than individual travel
16:28
those rangers are to the australian
16:30
colonies as outlawed gunslingers
16:33
are to the wild west romanticized
16:36
and lauded by many they are despised
16:38
as bloodthirsty criminals by others
16:41
examples existed both ends of the spectrum
16:44
the majority fall somewhere in between
16:47
small number of these bush rangers become
16:50
celebrated folk heroes none
16:52
so much as ned kelly
16:55
eighteen
17:01
sixty four the family moved
17:03
to avenue l a small village
17:05
on the main melbourne to sydney road
17:07
and ten year old ned is learning
17:10
about the bush himself the
17:12
received basic schooling but
17:14
as a tall strong athletic boy
17:17
sports or where he really thrive
17:21
that has the opportunity to put his physical
17:23
prowess to good use when he's
17:25
eleven heavy rains
17:27
have swollen the nearby creek and
17:30
fast moving floodwaters rush
17:32
through the goalie the
17:34
seven year old boy falls into the creek
17:36
ned doesn't hesitate to jumpin
17:38
after him the saved
17:40
the boy from drowning and is lauded
17:42
as a hero the village the
17:45
boy's parents proprietors as a
17:47
local hotel present ned
17:49
with green silk sash fringe
17:51
with gold in recognition of his
17:53
bravery it becomes
17:56
is most treasured possession they'll
17:59
be wearing it in very different circumstances
18:02
several years from now
18:05
he was given a green such as a
18:07
reward presumably the grain
18:09
reflecting the irish mr the community
18:12
the and it was extremely proud
18:14
of that sash
18:18
the end of eighteen sixty six tragedy
18:20
strikes read kelly
18:23
ned's father eyes of alcohol
18:25
related illness the
18:27
tender age of twelve young
18:30
ned kelly leave school to step into
18:32
his father's boots
18:35
alan kelly moved
18:37
family to the town of credit to be nearer
18:39
to her relatives taking up
18:41
and eighty eight acres selection farm
18:45
family soon learns the land is unsuitable
18:47
for farming so allen
18:49
supplements the family income by
18:51
offering accommodation to travellers
18:53
and selling moonshine oh
18:56
made liquor illicitly brewed in
18:58
hidden stills that
19:01
is coming of age in tough environment
19:04
that with his mother's siblings and their own
19:06
extended family and friends they
19:08
make up formidable clan
19:11
these one of the young terrorized all these kids
19:13
growing to adolescence across the
19:15
in this area many the parents
19:17
were convicts nets father was convict
19:19
coast and they're all related
19:21
to each other by marriage
19:24
so it's the kelly's the score lot
19:26
of those it's queens and
19:28
the lloyds are all of them as i
19:30
said are related but one way or another everybody
19:32
knows everybody basically whether it's whether police
19:35
the squatters the selectors the shopkeepers
19:37
and course live the kelly's on that everybody
19:40
else so when someone does something
19:42
wrong everyone as about it's trusts
19:44
right away and it's very
19:46
on tight be compressed social situation
19:49
at some we get in that office and victoria
19:52
the result those kind of influences
19:56
networks the farm as best he can
19:58
using his muscle to good muttering
20:01
cattle and breaking and horses
20:03
it's not just a hostile environment
20:05
he has to contend with the
20:08
selector farming families
20:10
at constant war with the larger
20:12
more powerful squatter landowners
20:14
who already laid claim to the land
20:17
they
20:17
do take up a selection of land and
20:20
find that those squatters have been there before
20:22
got the best land of got the water
20:24
supplies sign up and i've also
20:26
got the of the local policing and authorities
20:28
sign up as well they've also
20:30
got the access to markets buying like
20:32
sign up as well said a doesn't play very
20:35
much room for people like kelly's to
20:37
actually get out there and prosper which
20:39
because i needed to do in order to lump essentially
20:41
diet the land that government given them
20:45
police and the government or the enemy
20:47
viewed with suspicion
20:49
in return the police despise
20:51
the closely interwoven clans
20:54
the early eighteen sixty nine ned
20:57
realizes those little prospect
20:59
of supporting himself and his family
21:01
against these odds fourteen
21:03
year old decides to even those odds
21:06
and makes the decision that will change the course
21:09
of his life the teams
21:11
up with notorious local outlaw
21:13
bush ranger named harry
21:15
power
21:19
our is a fifty year old escaped iris
21:21
convict a large gruff
21:23
man with wild hair and
21:25
beard as dense as the bush he's
21:27
been living on ned's grandfather's land
21:30
our has built up a network of sympathizers
21:33
among these poor downtrodden farmers
21:36
now to keep them on side is

speaking they did which was pretty sensible
22:10
reaction harry was some as
22:12
a colorful it didn't kill anybody which
22:14
was always a plus for bush rioters
22:17
because people went to happy about that
22:19
one reason another the
22:21
duo make a great team undertaking
22:24
several successful robberies together

22:31
of bush range an
22:34
attempt to feel horses from a large
22:36
squad or farm sees the to
22:38

it's too closer shave for ned he
22:42
decides to split from power leaving
22:44
the older bush ranger to go it alone
22:48
soon after arriving back at the family
22:50
home ned has his first brush
22:52
and with the law
22:54
a passing chinese animal dealer accuses
22:57
ned of robbery ned
23:00
gives the very different version of events to
23:02
police
23:03
he claims the man assaulted his sister
23:05
and he was merely coming to her aid
23:09
the police can't dig up anything either
23:11
way and once ned sister
23:13
and to other kelly family members
23:15
give evidence in support of ned the
23:18
charges are dismissed
23:20
already the fiery young ned
23:22
is building a reputation for himself
23:29
by eighteen seventy allen is behind
23:31
with her rent the
23:32
bring in some much needed cash
23:35
ned goes against his better judgment
23:37
and hooks up with power again together
23:41
they commit string of highway robberies
23:43
across victoria traveling
23:45
great distances and attacking with
23:47
impunity they
23:49
hold up every one from
23:51
stock men to police officers the
23:54
even rob a local magistrate relieving
23:56
him of his watch his horse and
23:58
is riding gear the
24:01
police are on to power in no time
24:03
but the identity of his mysterious
24:05
young accomplice remains hidden
24:07
for months
24:09
finally young ned is named
24:11
thanks to paid informers and
24:13
he's captured at the end of april eighteen
24:15
seventy ned finds
24:17
himself and be worth jail for the
24:19
first time facing time facing
24:22
sentences found guilty fortunately
24:25
witnesses failed to identify him
24:28
and a month later he is released without
24:30
charge
24:32
kelly family seen ned's arrest as
24:34
clear evidence of corruption bias
24:37
and police harassment despite
24:39
ned actually being guilty of the robberies
24:43
some believe the kelly family got to those
24:45
witnesses intimidating people
24:48
into silence
24:50
that despite not being free it's
24:52
the end of the duo tumultuous partnership
24:55
the is done with power this
24:58
time for good
25:02
the older bush ranger his
25:05

on him in exchange for the charges
25:11
being dropped

the an accusation which doesn't win
25:15
ned many friends
25:18
the truth soon comes out it
25:20
was actually ned's uncle who pocketed
25:23
the five hundred pound reward even
25:25
so it takes awhile for ned
25:28
to shake the snitching rumors
25:32
that's not long before ned ends up in

hot water again this friend
25:37

hammer clicks with the gun misfires
28:14
that is enraged but the
28:16
constable pulls the trigger again and
28:18
again the gun misfires three
28:20
times in row that uses
28:23
his temporary good fortune to overpower
28:25
his opponent knocking into the ground
28:28
ned

28:43
holding him firmly enraged
28:46
policemen brandishes as impotent
28:49
revolver again but instead of trying to
28:51
shoot ned he swings it
28:53
at his head
28:54
it connects with a dove thought
28:57
knocking , sideways into the
28:59
dirt as
29:01
ned blinks as ned blood running down
29:03
his head the policemen swings
29:05
the gun again brutally pistol
29:07
whipping ned spinning his head
29:11
the
29:11
swings over and over
29:14
until finally ned is
29:16
senseless lying on ground
29:20
the man under each arm the
29:22
constable drags the severely injured
29:25
and half conscious ned down
29:27
the street the police station
29:33
when wilde right and alan kelly come
29:35
to trace her son they find him
29:37
by the pools of blood spilled in the dust
29:40
and the bright red smears across the
29:42
gate post there
29:44
was a charge on assault on indecent behavior
29:46
in other ones are receiving stolen or was us
29:49
the got for years hard labor in pink reach
29:51
for that one hundred prison was the nine
29:53
prison in melbourne that's why from
29:55
beach worthwhile and in the city because
29:58
three years and that current environment the i
30:00
do fourteen sustain us i didn't
30:02
do him cry discuss
30:05
what ned hadn't known as he'd written down
30:07
that street was that the horse really
30:09
was stolen swiped by
30:11
isaiah right from the postmaster
30:13
in nearby town while
30:16
ned serves three years for
30:18
receiving stolen horse right
30:21
was sentenced to just eighteen months
30:23
for the actual best
30:25
that's brutal arrest and subsequent long
30:28
hard labor stint as further
30:30
reinforced his views of the police
30:32
and notorious victorian penal
30:34
system
30:36
when he finally breathe fresh air again
30:38
and eighteen seventy four he
30:40
swears ill never stepped foot in
30:42
prison again he
30:44
also swears revenge on
30:46
wilde right for the loss of
30:48
his three years
30:53
one
30:56
of the best known photographs of ned
30:58
kelly shows him standing in
31:00
his underwear arms up ready
31:03
in boxing pose foot forward
31:05
hair swept back she
31:08
beard flowing down towards his
31:10
chest it was famously
31:12
snapped following ned's revenge
31:14
on wild right the
31:17
age of august eighteen seventy four
31:19
at the imperial hotel and beach
31:21
worth ned fights a
31:23
bare knuckle match with wilde
31:25
right over the if their the horse
31:28
the
31:29
was very well my local man actually
31:31
built manager going so from the side aggressive and
31:34
a great bare knuckle fighter and
31:36
the one the the match you're referring
31:38
to which was kind legendary was
31:40
a twenty rounds stand up match against
31:42
the manga was right was this anything
31:44
even bigger and more solid the ned
31:46
made one a base in modern truly
31:49
but later on ra ra became
31:51
one of his strongest supporters if neither
31:53
enemies with the time that with about supplies
31:55
that so yeah it's it's great story for
31:59
a time
32:00
networks that saw mill then takes
32:02
on building work those skills
32:04
he picked up in prison while
32:07
he was inside his mother had begun
32:10
courting and american george
32:12
king the to now
32:14
married and an eighteen seventy
32:16
seven ned joins his new
32:18
stepfather in the more profitable
32:20
business of horse theft
32:24
he also joined the local organized
32:26
crime gangs founded by his younger
32:28
brothers gym and dan called
32:31
the grad a mob they
32:33
known for their distinctive fancy style
32:35
of dress which includes wearing
32:37
their hat chin strap under their nose
32:41
not only does it keep their had on when riding
32:43
at full gallop down the high street but
32:46
it's also stab at authority
32:48
aristocracy and the upper
32:51
class
32:52
a signal of teenage rebellion
32:54
that goes down the ages to
32:56
today as well
32:58
as being responsible for fair chunk
33:01
of the petty crime in the area the
33:03
great a mobs primary interests or
33:05
much the same as teenagers
33:07
today
33:08
smoking boozing and
33:10
chatting up local girls
33:13
there again as an australian slang
33:15
term for allowed boisterous young man
33:18
with a disregard for authority
33:20
a hoodlum or hooligan the
33:23
word is still used today these
33:26
young men really live up to us
33:29
they raise their horses through the streets vaulting
33:31
senses and dates and wagering
33:34
each other on racing and trick riding
33:37
generally making a new sense of themselves
33:41
in september of eighteen seventy seven
33:43
ned kelly is arrested for riding
33:45
over footpath drunk
33:48
following his previous run in with the law
33:51
this was never going
33:53
to end well the
33:55
resists from the osce a
33:57
fight ensues night on ones
34:00
the i'd and to constables by the names
34:02
of lawn again and fitzpatrick on the other
34:05
while ned scuffles the smaller fitzpatrick
34:08
flanagan grabs ned's testicles
34:11
so tightly ill cause him problems
34:13
for the rest of his short life after
34:16
you're done screaming with pain and rage
34:19
ned supposedly hollers well
34:21
on again i never shot man
34:24
yet but so help me god you'll
34:26
beat us first these
34:29
are certainly faithful words
34:33
that leads to boot bankers opposite
34:35
the courthouse but as eventually subdued
34:38
and dragged back across street the
34:40
is find and released the
34:43
event will have long lasting ramifications
34:46
for all three men
34:49
it's constable
34:52
fitzpatrick stern first on
34:54
pleasant evening in april eighteen
34:56
seventy eight
34:58
the air is thick with insects
35:00
and evening birdsong as
35:03
he ties his horse up outside the
35:05
kelly place he
35:07
, around at the dry grass
35:09
dense forests beyond no
35:13
sign of dan jelly
35:14
they'd rather man
35:17
he's come to arrest then
35:20
ned and or stepfather all
35:22
have warrants out for horse theft
35:26
the glance through the window suggests dan
35:28
is not inside alan
35:30
kelly looks up from the stove and
35:33
rushes out to see what the police man
35:35
once
35:37
the do have known each other for a long time
35:39
and chat while though
35:42
it's clear fitzpatrick has no care
35:44
for allen sons particularly
35:46
since his run in with ned as you months
35:48
earlier that
35:51
feeling is mutual there's
35:54
a noise from the dirt road behind
35:57
the patrick turns to see to riders
35:59
approaching the first
36:01
the kelly's neighbor that
36:04
alongside him rides dan kelly
36:06
himself the
36:08
younger kelly is much smaller than
36:10
ned a good looking glad
36:13
but darting and nervous
36:16
constable is confident he can take him
36:18
in but waits until dan
36:20
dies his horse up before walking over
36:22
to arrest him
36:25
dan protests and asks
36:27
to least eat his dinner first
36:30
said patrick agrees and the two
36:32
men go inside with alan
36:34
kelly the
36:36
room and dark smoky with
36:38
the scent of cooking then
36:41
sits the ruff wooden table and
36:43
picks up fork as
36:45
allen dishes up the grub the
36:49
latest do into a bowl and places
36:51
it on a table glaring at
36:53
the policeman as if daring him to
36:55
ask for some shadow
36:58
crosses the window behind fitzpatrick
37:02
he's watching dan kelly so intently
37:05
the doesn't hear the horse outside the
37:08
only turns as he hears the door swung
37:10
open but by then it's too
37:12
late ned kelly
37:14
fills the doorway silhouetted
37:17
in the low son the
37:19
odds are against the policeman and
37:22
with ned's recent threats ringing in
37:24
his ears the reaches for
37:26
his gun it's a
37:28
mistake that , already
37:30
holding his he squeezes
37:32
the trigger the shot deafening the small
37:34
room room bullet
37:36
mrs climbing into
37:38
wooden wall splinters
37:40
fly as dispatch and duck's back
37:43
still reaching for his guns he
37:45
, flanked by alan dollars with
37:47
shovel shovel sound
37:49
of it bouncing off it's geysers head is
37:52
almost as loud as the following gunshot
37:56
it's patrick's daggers clutching
37:58
his wrist before his world
38:00
the goes black the
38:02
constable drops to the floor like sack
38:04
of washing when
38:07
it comes round net is standing
38:09
over him brandishing a nice he
38:12
passes into the dazed policemen telling
38:15
him to dig out the bullet patrick
38:18
glances round and sees his revolver
38:21
now held firmly in dan
38:23
kelly's hands the
38:25
kelly's mother is still hovering nearby
38:28
holding the shovel as
38:31
he curses and digs out bullet
38:33
ned tosses grubby piece of
38:35
cloth under the floor to dress the
38:37
wound the three
38:39
kelly's concoct a cover
38:41
story which fitzpatrick is
38:43
told to stick to they'll
38:45
be trouble these
38:48
donald out of the house and helped onto
38:50
his horse as
38:52
gallops away into darkening evening
38:55
he heads not for home but
38:57
straight for his police station and
38:59
his superior officer to
39:02
inform him of everything that happened
39:05
it had started as dans arrest
39:07
for horse test now
39:10
the galley family or wanted for
39:12
the attempted murder of a policeman
39:14
that's
39:16
better your failures one of most controversial
39:18
elements of the whole story the
39:20
a division of story is that comfortable
39:23
fitzpatrick went out to arrest
39:25
someone but he answered up at kelly
39:27
place drunk or into the story
39:29
and attempted to molest one of they can
39:31
be girls who were there and to be
39:33
i'm so very well and the kelly's
39:36
simply deny the snake was they said
39:38
you know that didn't happen and so
39:40
we don't really know basically you can type
39:42
one your analogy and
39:45
patrick's wrist wound is examined by a
39:47
doctor the nice marks make it
39:49
seem superficial inconsistent
39:51
with gunshot
39:54
kelly story seems to stack up the
39:56
wound appears to be self inflicted
39:59
there's evidence the law takes very
40:01
dim view of any lerach and behavior
40:04
the kelly's have already gained reputation
40:08
ned and dan kelly wastes no time
40:10
and flee into the bush but
40:13
their mothers days behind it is found guilty
40:15
of attempted murder alan
40:18
kelly is sentenced to three years
40:20
hard labor it's harsh
40:22
sentence especially since she
40:24
has a newborn baby at home
40:29
someone living with lung cancer speaking
40:32
up and being proactive during this cancer
40:34
during is absolutely critical
40:37
help advocating can play a big role when
40:39
dealing with lung cancer but it doesn't need be
40:41
daunting try preparing questions want
40:43
to ask your doctor at your next appointment confirming
40:45
when you are unsure are have concerns and
40:47
asking about biomarker testing which
40:49
may help your doctor selecting appropriate treatment
40:52
i hope anyone who's diagnosed with lung cancer
40:55
whatever the say is is willing to speak
40:57
up ask questions assembles
40:59
support seeking
41:01
and fights is it be i t
41:03
dot l wise lysander promotes
41:05
ask for links to resources and to
41:07
learn about sound up inspired
41:10
me to lead campaign supported by novartis
41:12
to empower people affected my lung cancer
41:14
the
41:21
summer eighteen seventy eight
41:23
now living is bush rangers and the wombats
41:26
ranges the kelly brothers hide
41:28
out in the thick bush living
41:30
outside of law always
41:32
looking over their shoulder they
41:34
build to hots from thick wouldn't
41:36
logs for shelter and
41:38
make money by sluicing gold and
41:41
selling moonshine to their large network
41:43
of sympathizers the
41:45
brothers were revenge the police
41:47
and the government who they feel
41:50
are persecuting their family without just
41:52
cause
41:54
it's bad for doesn't is of lighter on dismissed
41:56
from the police i'm back and other things
41:58
to a museum of natural the patient and
42:01
that particular incident was the thing that set
42:03
off the app right because as consequence
42:05
of it's on the kill his mother was arrested
42:07
sent to jail and some theories
42:10
are the ones who they are the same time also went
42:12
job as they did a skype or then and
42:14
