Captain Moonlite was a very different character compared to other famous Australian Bushrangers.Despite the fantastic nickname there's been conspicuously little information available about him. That was until journalist and author, Garry Linnell started looking into the story. The result is a great book that uncovers some surprising aspects of Moonlite story. Aspects some say are the reason he hasn't been eulogised like his contemporaries. Click here to purchase Garry's book "Moonlite: The Tragic Love Story of Captain Moonlite and the Bloody End of the Bushrangers"Australian True Crime LIVE is coming to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne this July!

In 1880 the bushranger era came to a dramatic end in Eastern Australia with the infamous death of Ned Kelly in Melbourne. Earlier that same year a man just as infamous at the time was hanged at Darlinghurst Gaol after engaging in his own wayward adventures across the colonies of New South Wales and Victoria and in the South Pacific. Some 110 years later the letters Andrew George Scott, known to the 19th century public as 'Captain Moonlite' wrote,came to light in the New South Wales State Archives. These letters gave a surprising insight into the mind of a fascinating character and gave queer Sydney an erstwhile hero. In this episode we explore just a few of Scott's misadventures and discuss his ongoing significance to Australian culture. This episode was written based on the work of Garry Linnell is his book 'Captain Moonlite: The Tragic Love Story of Captain Moonlite and the Bloody End of the Bushrangers'.

Think of Australian bushrangers and Captain Thunderbolt, Ned Kelly, Captain Moonlite and the subject of today's Crime File, Ben Hall, come to mind.  Ben Hall was born near Forbes in western NSW on 9 May 1837, to ex-convict parents Elizabeth Sommers and Benjamin Hall. Raised to work on the land, in his youth Ben worked as a stockman for ex-convict John Walsh of Wheogo Station near Forbes.   In 1856, the strikingly handsome Ben Hall married Bridget Walsh, one of John Walsh's daughters and settled down in a partnership with another son-in-law, John McGuire, to run 7000 hectares at Sandy Creek, near Wheogo. When John Walsh died in 1858, the two men helped his widow Elizabeth, her daughter Kitty, and Kitty's husband, John Brown, to run Wheogo Station as well.   The ambitious Ben Hall came to be known as an honest trader and a reliable friend to his neighbours in the district. It was a life that Ben Hall loved, and he was content to spend it as a hard-working husband and father and keeper of the land.  But it was not to last and a series of events in his life saw him turn to become the most wanted bushranger in Australia's history.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whether you are for or against the death penalty, you would at least expect that that decision is based on a sound legal process. But death penalty law expert Marc Bookman reveals the foibles of the system in practice.  And - the true and epic story of Captain Moonlite. He was one of Australia's most notorious bushrangers and in all probability the first openly gay one.

Before Ned Kelly came along and stole everyone's thunder, there was Captain Moonlite. He was a pastor and a soldier, a bank robber and a frontier farmer, a lecturer and a mental patient, an innocent man and a bushranger, a womaniser and a homosexual. He was an Australian legend who barely anyone has ever heard of and one half of the greatest love story never told. With a hilarious script and catchy original tunes, Moonlite tells the tale of the man's last stand, and in it the story of the different lives he lived, all revolving around his enduring dedication to the love of his life, James Nesbit, a dedication that endured beyond the grave.Written by Gabriel BergmoserMusic and lyrics by Dan NixonCast:Moonlite: Tim ConstantineNesbit: Ryan SmedleyRogan: James ColeyWerneke: Megan Scolyer-GrayFaulkner: Daniel CosgroveHelen: Katy NethercoteMusic:Guitar and arrangements: Josh FuhrmeisterStrings: Esther HendersonEdited by Aron Toman
