Attracted by the fast, free life, these native-born Australians plundered the gold escorts and crowded coaches, fighting it out with police- heroes in the eyes of the public they robbed.* A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st/1st thus with some minor faults. Reduced by minimal wear to VG+ (now in protective wrappers).*
