These are Our Stories. From bushrangers and prime ministers to how Australian inventions have changed the world.
Australia's first bushranger arrived at Botany Bay in January 1788 with the First Fleet. During the 1800s there were hundreds of bushrangers roaming the Australian countryside, living off what they could rob from others. In 1901, the same year Australia became a nation, one of our last bushrangers was hanged for his crimes. They are as much a part of our history as the arrival of the First Fleet and Federation.
