AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Our dashing protagonist, Australian folk hero and occasional murderer Ned Kelly, finds himself in somewhat of a pickle.

Pursued by the boys in blue whilst liberating money from the bank at Euroa, our favourite bushranger is rescued by a mysterious stranger.

Ned is given some special goggles, the likes of which he has never seen before. When he puts them on, the awful truth is revealed - the nascent settlement of Victoria has been colonised not only by the Imperialist English, but also by a race of marauding aliens! And most of the aliens seem to be masquerading as Policemen.

Thus confirming, boys and girls, that you should never trust the rozzers...'

Notes

  • Steampunk note: This series looks back on the historical nineteenth-century figure of Ned Kelly with a science-fiction twist, seeing the man and his iconic metal armour as part of a fight against alien invaders.
