Manage episode 504045864 series 2444251
The whispering forests and deep valleys of Victoria’s high country have long provided refuge for those on the run.
Think of Ned Kelly and his gang, who roamed the north east Victorian ranges, before finally being captured by police in a shootout at the Glenrowan Inn.
