Heather Knight entertained us on Tuesday with an account of a gentleman names ‘The Black Douglas’, an early bushranger active in Victoria during the nineteenth century. He was of American origin and reputedly had one black parent.

Many of the details of his life remain elusive, but he did seem to have appeared in court on relatively trivial charges a surprising number of times.

Here the President, Brian Clancy, thanks Heather after her talk.
