Episode 243 - The Clarke Brothers (1840-1867)

In this episode, we take a closer look at the Clarke Brothers, a notorious gang of bushrangers who wreaked havoc in colonial New South Wales during the mid-1800s. We explore the brothers' origins, including their childhoods and early criminal activities, as well as their eventual transformation into some of Australia's most infamous outlaws. We also examine the daring robberies and violent confrontations with law enforcement that defined their careers as bushrangers, and the factors that ultimately led to their capture and execution.

Join Holly and Matthew as they look into some local (for them) history and dive back into the world of the bushrangers.
