In this podcast of Strange History, we take listeners on a journey through the thrilling and lawless era of the Australian bushrangers. We discuss the origins of bushranging, which began with escaped convicts in the early years of European settlements. The discovery of gold in the mid-19th century led to a wave of bushranging activity, with outlaws targeting gold escorts and isolated settlements. We also highlight the notorious Clark brothers, Johnny and Tom, who were active in New South Wales in the 1860s. Known for their violent behavior, the Clark brothers were eventually captured in 1867 after a gun battle with the police.
