Crime Stories - John Caesar: Australia's first bushranger

Born in Madagascar and formerly enslaved in the United States, John Caesar was sent to England before being transported to New South Wales in 1788 aboard the First Fleet. Caesar became one of the first people from the African continent to live in Australia. After receiving a life sentence for stealing food, he repeatedly escaped into the wilderness, becoming Australia's first recognised bushranger. His career in the bush ended in February 1796 when he was tracked down and killed.
