Not correct guys. I was thinking of changing the question as it is a bit obscure and there seems to be little interest in it.
What do we think? Can we get a ruling Duck?

How about just another hint, RJ?
I'll put up some more hints later today. The book I got the story from is at work :8
Hints. Charles Latrobe. Campbell Hunter's house.
Was it the bushrangers John Williams, Charles Ellis, Daniel Jepps, and Martin Fogarty, who were arrested at Campbell Hunter's house by a party sent up from Melbourne by Latrobe? The bushrangers surprised Hunter and friends at breakfast and feasted and drank well before capture.
"Bushrangers captured by Gentlemen Volunteers, May 1842" That was an obscure one, if that's the answer.

You got it DrDuck. They first came together in a cheap boarding house in Melbourne. Apparently they where "tricked" into becoming bushrangers by a thief named Cam to pay their rent. According to the book I have they were Victoria's first bushranger gang.
Sorry for the delay, I've been on the road for the last 3 days....
Probably an easy one, as I have not tested the clue for Google proofness.
I came to Australia from Africa via England, and was blamed for a lot of things in Sydney. Who was I?

No takers? A clue:
I was the first member of my profession in Australia.

Not an easy one. Good to be back to some research.
John Casare (or Caesar) The first bushranger?
That's him RJ, he was quite a character:

I sometimes like to ask a question that links to the previous one!

Yes I got the link. Interesting Character. Took a bit of work to find him.
This should be easy. What was the first commercial export from the Australian colony?
