Australia's most famous outlaw was no ordinary criminal. He rode fast, fought hard, and faced down the law in a homemade suit of iron armor. His story is filled with daring escapes, wild chases, and a final showdown that became one of the most legendary battles in history.
Before he was an outlaw, he was a boy who grew up in the harsh Australian bush, learning to survive in a world where the law didn't always play fair. He saved a drowning child, worked hard to help his struggling family, and tried to stay out of trouble. But trouble had a way of finding him. Accused of crimes he swore he didn't commit, he was hunted by police, forced to run, and pushed into a life outside the law.
Was he a villain, a hero, or something in between? This gripping story explores his wild adventures, the gang that followed him, the people who feared him, and those who saw him as a rebel fighting against an unfair system.
Packed with action, mystery, and larger-than-life moments, this book brings history to life, telling the story of a boy who became an outlaw-and a man who became a legend.
