Moondyne Joe is Western Australia's most famous Bushranger, but as first time guest Angus Gordon tells us, he is more famous for his jail escapes than his bush ranging!Note: Angus was raw dogging this report and let us know he got a couple of names wrong: the convict he called Simon Levey was actually named Solomon and the Governor of Swan River was Hampton not Hudson.This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 04:46 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).Support the show and get bonus episodes: patreon.com/DoGoOnPodSupport the show on Apple podcasts and get bonus eps in the app: http://apple.co/dogoon Live show tickets: https://dogoonpod.com/live-shows/ Submit a topic idea directly to the hat: dogoonpod.com/suggest-a-topic/ Check out our other podcasts:Book Cheat: https://play.acast.com/s/book-cheatPrime Mates: https://play.acast.com/s/prime-mates/Listen Now: https://play.acast.com/s/listen-now/Who Knew It with Matt Stewart: https://play.acast.com/s/who-knew-it-with-matt-stewart/ Our awesome theme song by Evan Munro-Smith and logo by Peader ThomasDo Go On acknowledges the traditional owners of the land we record on, the Wurundjeri people, in the Kulin nation.

In the early 19th century, Musquito, a First Nations bushranger, defied British colonial rule in Australia. Born around 1780, he was transported to Tasmania as a convict in 1824. Escaping captivity, he joined forces with Black Jack, another warrior, and led a group of dispossessed First Nations people in guerrilla warfare against settlers.Their audacious raids terrorized colonists, thanks to Musquito's unrivaled knowledge of the terrain, but he couldn't live forever. His execution in January 1825 marked the end of his unique chapter in Australian bushranging history. Join Holly & Matthew as they look into the exciting life of this bushranger and ask: "Bushranger, or Freedom Fighter?"

Phil Carroll and Kevin Hornsby talk to Colin after Xtract Resources Plc, a gold production and exploration company with ventures in Australia, Mozambique, and Zambia, revealed its interim results for the six months ending 30 June 2023. Key updates include an optimistic mining study on the Bushranger project, highlighting potential substantial cash margins, a 52% grade uplift in a pre-concentration study using TOMRA's advanced technology, and steady production from the Manica Fair Bride project with 140kg of gold produced in the quarter ending March 2023. Financially, the firm reported a revenue of £0.39m from gold sales, contrasting last year's £0.97m, and a net profit of £0.62m, a significant improvement from last year's £0.03m loss. New ventures include work on the Kakuyu project in Zambia, exploring two large surface anomalies, and a joint venture with Coopermelon Limited focusing on copper mineralisation in northwest Zambia with a planned exploration expenditure of US$2 million. Shaun Day also makes a guest appearance and talks to the team after Newcrest Mining shareholders have overwhelmingly approved the A$26.2 billion ($16.81 billion) acquisition offer from Newmont Corporation, marking it as Australia's largest corporate deal of the year. 92.63% of Newcrest's votes were in favor of the deal, surpassing the required 75% approval threshold. This follows Newmont's shareholders in the U.S., who voted over 96% in favor of acquiring the Australian company.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we head down under and talk about the baddest Bushranger of them all, Ben Hall. Ben Hall was an epic outlaw of the outback. After his wife left him, he took up with a bad crowd of criminals and soon became the leader of one of the most notorious gangs of the Australian Old West. In just a handful of years, they racked up over 100 robberies. Even better, they did crimes to mock the police and make the citizens like them. At one point, the put an entire town on lock down, put the cops in their own cell, and had a three day all-expense paid dance party in the saloon. His death was as grand as his life, and if you like cowboy times or Aussies, this is the one for you!

The bushranger holds a special place in the Australian psyche. Celebrated for their bravery and their ability to go against the grain, against authority and deified through time as heroes. But not all were seen at the time in such a positive way, and not all were white men. We speak with Boundary Crossers author Meg Foster, who reveals the stories of bushrangers that didn't fit the mold, like African American man Black Douglas, Chinese bushranger Sam Poo, Aboriginal man Jimmy Governor and Aboriginal woman, Mary Ann Bugg.

Bushrangers can be many things: pious priests (Captain Moonlight), womanisers (Captain Thunderbolt and Matthew Brady), scoundrels (The Kelly Gang and the Ben Hall Gang), or even slippery (Moondyne Joe and the Tasmanian Cannibals).Generally speaking, they tend not to be as mad as a stuck pig. But there was one bushranger out there who seemed to have no code, other than to cause chaos wherever he trod. Ladies and gentlemen, we present: Mad Dan Morgan, also known as 'Mad Dog'.

Mary Ann Bugg was an Aboriginal woman who became a savvy bushranger and accomplice to Captain Thunderbolt. She was the bushranger's spy, riding ahead into towns to check for police. She also used her bush skills to gather and hunt food for the group of bushrangers she rode with. Mary Ann used her first-class education and stunning beauty to fool the troopers and avoid being caught. Narrated by singer-songwriter Thelma Plum.
