Bail Up! takes the reader on a chronological journey from the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, to the tormented years of Port Arthur and Norfolk Island, to the goldfield years of the 1850s, and on to the saga of the last of the fighting and defiant Irishmen - Edward 'Ned' Kelly - who was hanged in Melbourne on 11 November 1880.
