In the 1860s there was a man who made it his business to keep convicts out of gaol. Please follow the link on my profile for the story, "The Convict Postman Who Delivered Freedom." Corrigin citizens in Western Australia's wheat belt love their utes, dogs, and world records. I'm here to pay homage to their dogs in utes as well as their amaxing dog cemetery. It's a magical place. I've come to the historic 1831 town of York in the West Australian wheat belt, and the big event today is the annual motorbike festival! Narren Jim knew the answer to Australia's greatest mystery about the lost Leichhardt journals. Via the link on my profile, please read, like, follow, and share his incredible story, "Narren Jim and the Leichhardt Mystery." I've come to see Argyle Diamonds at the Perth Mint to understand what the 3.5 carat lost Stanthorpe Diamond may have looked like. In 1861 Toowoomba lost a lot of convicts but “Scotchy” Lawson refused to join them. Via the link on my profile read, hear, like, share and follow Scotchy's remarkable story, "Scotchy Lawson and the Great Non‑Escape." This year I'll be going back to the Top End in support of charity. Stay tuned for the huge announcement! This transported convict in 1856 set the robbery record that still stands today, and he got clean away. Please read, listen, like and follow via the link on my profile for the story, "Dick Austin's Great Ipswich Robbery." In 1861 the Toowoomba constabulary allowed a lot of prisoners to escape, and it changed our society for ever. Follow the link on my profile to read and hear the story, "Runaways of the Range.
