    I learned last week that highwaymen in Australia were called Bush Rangers, and one of the most famous bush rangers in New South Wales was ... (pause for dramatic effect) ... Captain Thunderbolt!

    I thought the person who told me this was joking, but no!

    You can read more about the short, violent life of Captain Thunderbolt on Wikipedia. This being Australia, there's now a road named after him and a bronze statue of him.
