Sobre este áudio

Read by Ryan Corr, acclaimed for his roles in Holding the Man and HBO's House of Dragon.

Immerse yourself in the captivating, true story of a unique bushranger's life, perfect for history enthusiasts and true crime fans.

From Walkley Award-winning writer Gary Linnell comes the true and epic story of George Scott, an Irish-born preacher who becomes, along with Ned Kelly, one of the nation's most notorious and celebrated criminals.

A Cast of Unforgettable Characters.
A gay bushranger with a love of poetry and guns.
A grotesque hangman with a passion for flowers and gardening.
A broken young man desperate for love and respect.
These men - two of them lovers - are about to bring the era of Australia's outlaws to a torrid and bloody climax.

From Privilege to Notoriety
Charismatic, intelligent, and handsome, George Scott was born into a privileged life in famine-wracked Ireland. His family lost its fortune and fled to New Zealand. There, Scott joins the local militia and after recovering from gunshot wounds, sails to Australia.

The Birth of Captain Moonlite
One night he dons a mask in a small country town, arms himself with a gun and, dubbing himself Captain Moonlite, brazenly robs a bank before staging one of the country's most audacious jailbreaks.

After falling in love with fellow prisoner James Nesbitt, a boyish petty criminal desperately searching for a father figure, Scott finds himself unable to shrug off his criminal past. Pursued and harassed by the police, he stages a dramatic siege and prepares for a final showdown with the law - and a macabre executioner without a nose.

A Window Into Australia's Past
Told at a cracking pace, and based on many of the extensive letters Scott wrote from his death cell, Moonlite is set amid the violent and sexually-repressed era of Australia in the second half of the 19th century.

'Linnell's vibrant, lyrical retelling of Scott's remarkable life reads like a colourful novel' Daily Telegraph©2020 Garry Linnell (P)2020 Penguin Random House Australia
