They’re about the have the ride of their lives!

" . . . an inside look into family life back in 1878 and the life of a bushranger on the run. Both Gale and Weetman did a lot of research on the life of Kelly and his gang, and have included many real events in this work of fiction. It is interesting to look at the life of a bushranger from the point of view of a family who love him . . ."
