Was excited to hear a podcast about one of my favorite explores but quickly realized your channel is AI garbage. Nobody wants this! How about you put in the real work you loser!
Also, if you're after some real viciousness check out the Victorian bushranger Dan "Mad dog" Morgan. Very interesting character
G'day guys. Excellent information on the Ben Hall gang. A couple of things that may be of interest. 1. John (Happy Jack) Gilbert still to this day holds the record for most criminal arrests in the state of New south Wales lol. 2. To this day in Australia we have a saying for someone who misses the obvious. We say "blind Freddy could have seen it." It's a reference to Police Inspector Sir Frederick Pottinger, who famously failed to catch Ben Hall lol
That's awesome information Adam! I had always heard the Blind Freddy saying but never knew its origins
