I read an article about this in the Melbourne News and they interviewed his descendant. Evidently they consider this murdering thug a hero in Australia. He was not a freedom fighter but a thief.

On a lark, my wife and I decided to take the 2 kids to Melbourne for a 10 day vacation last month, We reasoned that since it was winter over there the weather would be delightful. It was, 60’s during the day, 40’s at night. Also, due to it being winter, crowds were small. We stayed at a golf course condo on the Mornington Peninsula, $500 for 7 nights. We also stayed 2 nights in Melbourne itself for a reasonable price.

The bottom line is that it was wonderful. The people are modest, shy, and very pleasant. They love Americans and most of their TV is recycled US shows, American and London news, and even American sports. I watched a National Baseball League game live. The people are sports fanatics including Australian Rules Football, Rugby, and even baseball. There is a six team major league which plays in their summer. My son and I went to an Aussie Rules Footbasll game at the Melbourne Cricket Grounds (MCG) and were totally delighted. The city of Melbourne itself was bustling like no American City I have seen in a long time. The biggest challenge was learning to drive on the left, which I found difficult, especially at first.

The sights included very interesting city neighborhoods, the Mornington Peninsula with its beaches, ocean, and small beach towns, Kangaroos, Koalas, Penquins, and other interesting animals. The suburbs and homes are beautiful and the countryside is very charming. For your information, there is no dry, dusty outback near Melbourne. The environment is very pleasant and green. Just yesterday, Melbourne was named as the most liveable city in the world. Based on our wonderful vacation, I can certainly understand why it was selected for this honor. In conclusion, a vacation to Melbourne is highly recommended to all Freepers.
