Duck, not him. I did not know about Fred, and it was an interesting story. Our bloke had a very short career as a bushranger.

William Fletcher?

 

[DrDuck]

Magilla gets the Cigar. Rickey Ponting named his son William Fletcher Ponting,

Fletcher was the "Bushranger for a day", having hooked up with the notorious Clark brothers at the races and got himself killed during a raid on the Nerrigundah Hotel.

I was niggling at the Nerrigunda episode but over journalised it. LOL

 

[Magilla]

Clue,
I arrived in Australia as a Captain in the army.

 

[DrDuck]

Good question, I reckon I was over thinking it. Was is Captain Lachlan Macquarie?

 

[Ramjet]

Bugger. I was thinking along those lines Doc. Nice.

 

[Magilla]

Good try Dr but not this time.
