Here is a list of five bushrangers stories more ripe for the Kurzel treatment than that of the Kelly Gang. Kurzel's Ned Kelly film exchanges historical accuracy for a grungy, gory aesthetic. 1. Michael Howe: One of the earliest bushrangers to be labelled as such was Van Diemens Land's most notorious outlaw. Already the subject of a film Series presented by Luke Radford. Produced, filmed, and edited by Tim Purdie. Executive producer, Annabel Astbury. Produced on Dja Dja Wurrung, Woi Wurrung (Wurundjeri) and Ngunnawal Country Bushrangers continued to flourish with 'Bold' Jack Donohoe reaching notoriety in the late 1820s. He was known as the 'Wild Colonial Boy', who escaped his own hanging and was a Robin Hood like figure. The gold rush era of the 1850s and 1860s brought more well-known bushrangers, including Ben Hall, Frank Gardiner, Captain Thunderbolt and John 4. 'Gentleman Bushranger' Martin Cash.

A "bushranger", in the most concise definition, is a criminal who takes refuge in, and operates from, the wilderness (usually heavily forested areas). Other terms used to describe this class of criminal includes bandit, brigand, fugitive, outlaw and bolter. Depiction of bushrangers robbing a mail coach by S.T.
