@childsplaymusic Thanks, I was after streets of forbes!! As soon as he started singing I knew it was the wrong song. haha

Interesting, especially for an old Bushwackers fan like myself. But this isn't "The Streets of Forbes". This is "The Ballad of Ben Hall", an entirely different song both lyrically and melodically. It's sometimes just called "Ben Hall", or "The Ballad of Ben Hall's Gang" or even "Dunn, Gilbert and Ben Hall".
If you want to hear the "Streets of Forbes" search for it here on YouTube. There's a nice version by June Tabor and a very good version by the 60s Australian folk singer Marian Henderson.

show some respect to a liberator and a great Australian

I wish there was less commentary. He does sound a lot like the late Durmit O'Riley of Ryan's fancy, and I knew Dermit, who I'd met at Fergus's brother's house.

What's your point?? If your grandfather was passed away in 1970 aged 89 this means he was born in1881 16 years after Ben Hall died,so he has just been fed the usual lies.If he was harmless why did he and his gang open fire on the Forbes escort without warning??? No loss of life only due to the luck of the gods,but some terrible injuries sustained by some of the guards.Why did he loot and burn down farmers stables and kill livestock?? Hardly a gentleman

This is the same story that my old grandad (who died in the 1970s at age 89) told me ... and he was related

I have an old cassette of theirs. I wish I could here more of their group. Their version of "and they played Waltzing Matilda was enough to put a harden Vietnam veteran to tears.
