This is the story of the greatest escape artist of Australia’s convict era – the legend of Moondyne Joe.

“They’ll not take my freedom away!”
These are the words of Moondyne Joe, the beloved scoundrel and expert bushman of early Australian convict history. There wasn’t a cell built that could contain him, and Joe often led the troopers on wild chases through the Moondyne Hills.

This is the story of a colourful Australian legend from the award-winning team of Mark Greenwood and Frané Lessac.
