AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The beginning of Vane's career of outlawry – the bailing up of a Chinese in pursuance of a wager – opens the series. His subsequent capture and release by his sweetheart; Ben Hall's many exploits in the Carcoar district, ending in the sticking up of the Keightley Homestead, and the shooting of Michael Burke, an outrage in which Vane throws in his lot with the Hall gang, Vane's remorse and surrender to Father McCarthy, his release from prison, and the peace which came in his old age, are portrayed with splendid backgrounds of the sunny New South Wales bush.'
