Excerpt from The Last of the Bushrangers: An Account of the Capture of the Kelly Gang And apart from this money consideration there was a further one, which appealed quite as effectively to their humble admirers. The gang never behaved badly to, or assaulted, a woman, but always treated them with consideration and respect, although ftc quently compelled by the exigencies of the Situation to put them to' considerable inconvenience. In like manner they seldom, if ever, made a victim Of a poor man. And thus they weaved a certain halo Of romance and rough chivalry around themselves, which was worth a good deal to them, much in the same way as did the British highwayman during the last century. And now, with these few necessary words of ex planation and introduction, let me get at once to my story, and the events which led to my being connected with the capture Of the last of the Bushrangers.

The story of Australia's last bushranging gang - the murderous Kenniffs. Easter Sunday, 1902, deep in the Carnarvon Ranges a police constable and station manager are slain then later incinerated, their remains stuffed into saddlebags. Accused of the ghoulish crime are two members of the bushranging Kenniff gang, fast gaining notoriety as Queensland's equivalent of the Kelly gang. Yet the murders are a bold escalation from the petty fraud, horse stealing and cattle duffing the gang is known for. Starving and exhausted after three long months on the run, the brothers are finally captured, and so the wheels of justice start to turn. The story of the Kenniffs has fascinated Mike Munro for decades - ever since he found out these last bushrangers were his family. If not for Mike's grandfather illegally changing his name in shame from Kenniff to Munro, this major figure in Australian television would be known to us as Mike Kenniff. But who were Mike's relatives? What drove them to their life of crime? And were the brothers really responsible for such terrible murders? In answering these questions Mike Munro takes us back to the dawn of Federation, when bush skills and horsemanship could help outlaws escape the police, when remote pastoralists were vulnerable targets for thieves and marauders, when race and class divides were entrenched - but resented - and when brutal, feckless outlaws faced the ultimate punishment. This is a story that is both gripping and personal, and an insight into an Australia just coming of age. PRAISE FOR THE LAST BUSHRANGERS 'All families have a secret ... but Mike's is a doozy! This touching, TRUE story is a terrific read!' Di Morrissey 'A thoroughly informed, lively and balanced page-turner' Steven Carroll, Sydney Morning Herald

I was born at the Cape of Good Hope, at a small village called Wynberg, abouteight miles from Cape Town, and near the celebrated vineyards of Constantia. Iwas the youngest son of a family of seventeen! My father was a captain in the 21stDragoons. The whole of his regiment was disbanded at the Cape; all the officerssettled down amongst the Dutch inhabitants, and nearly all of us were born atWynberg. When I left school I joined a brother who had a sheep farm, with whichhe combined horse-breeding and agriculture. After I had been on the station four orfive years, I disliked the life so much that I was persuaded to emigrate to Australia.I arrived in Melbourne on 10th April, 1852, about six months after gold had beendiscovered. I did not know a soul out there then, and after a short time went on toSydney, where I found a few people to whom I had letters of introduction.After staying in Sydney a few months I returned to Melbourne with two mateswhom I had picked up there, one a fellow-passenger I met going to Sydney. Thevoyage lasted seventeen days. My other mate was a runaway convict from NorfolkIsland. He had been employed as workman and gardener in my other mate'sfamily, and was a very hard-working old scoundrel. Melbourne at this time was aplace to be remembered; the scenes that occurred in the streets and in the hotelswould hardly be credited. The principal objects throughout the day to be seen inCollins and Bourke Streets were wedding-parties. Diggers used to come from thediggings with pounds' weight of gold, for the purpose, as they called it, of "knockingit down," and they managed to do this in a marvellously short space of time. Youwould hear of a man calling for two or three dozen of champagne (£1 per bottle),throwing it into a tub, and having a bath in it.
