OverviewMoondyne 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 - the legend of Moondyne Joe.
