Chris and Victoria weren’t the only ones to love ‘The Kelly Hunters’ by Grantlee Kieza… Here is what the QBD crew thought when they met at Leonards Bar & Bistro!
If you’ve been searching for a fascinating, alternate account of the legendary Ned Kelly story, THIS is the book for you.
When Ned Kelly and his band of tearaways killed three policemen in 1878, they sparked the biggest and most expensive manhunt Australia had ever seen. However, the desperate search ended when Kelly and his gang attempted to derail a train, waging their final gun in battle. In the 20 months between those two events, police officers, lawmen, soldiers, undercover agents, and a team of Aboriginal trackers were all in hope of finding the men who had killed their comrades. The members of this team were brave, poorly paid, and risked death – but they did whatever it took to find the gang.
“The Kelly Hunters” is excellently written, captivating, and describes the desperate manhunt to bring down Australia’s most notorious outlaw in great detail. For those enthralled by Australian history, it’s time to add this to your reading list.
