Robbery Under Arms by Rolf Boldrewood (1826 - 1915)

A tale of cattle duffing, horse stealing and bushranging in the New South Wales outback with Captain Starlight.
To quote the author "though presented in the guise of fiction, this chronicle of the Marston family must not be set down by the reader as wholly fanciful or exaggerated. Much of the narrative is literally true, as can be verified by official records. A lifelong residence in Australia may be accepted as a guarantee for fidelity as to local colour and descriptive detail." (Summary by Annise )

    Robbery under Arms
    Folks who love American Westerns will really love this podcast. Since it is set in Australia, there are a few terms that are unfamiliar. The podcast is read by volunteers, some of whom are more professional than others. It's a lot like having someone read you a bedtime story. If you don't get angry at the occasional mispronounciation, you'll soon fall into the different vocal rhythms. All in all, it's a great yarn.
