G'day Q (et al),

Without checking a few 19th century books and lists of notorious bushrangers, I would go with Joybell, who live a lot closer to the spot. I had noticed this thread ... but the name Black Jack (of) Balla(a)rat doesn't ring any bells.

I'll check the books at home, tonight ... but I would be surprised if I've overlooked him!

Regards,

Bob
