Mark Greenwood - Author 'The Legend of Moondyne Joe'. Life and times of Moondyne Joe Moondyne Joe was not known for blazing gunfights or robbing banks. It was the convict bushranger's amazing ability to escape every time he was placed behind bars that won him fame and the affection of the early settlers. Wearing a kangaroo-skin cape and possum-skin slippers, he roamed the wooded valleys and winding creeks at Moondyne Hills. But when he was blamed for the disappearance of a farmer's prize stallion, the colonial establishment was soon to find out that there wasn't a gaol that could hold Joe! This is the story of the greatest escape artist of Australia's convict era.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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'.

He twice escaped prison in country WA, and twice more in Fremantle – one time almost under the noses of his guards! Although Moondyne Joe had a flair for escaping, the law would invariably catch up to him. We are all a bit like Moondyne Joe. But our guilt is to a higher authority: God. But God loves us […]
