Martin Cash the infamous bushranger lived in the 19th century. He was born on the 11th of October 1808 at Enniscorthy Country Wexford, Ireland and was the son of George and Mary Cash. He was a farm boy but his family were fairly well off in terms of money. Growing up, he did receive a reasonable standard of education but was an irregular attendance at school.

Before being sent to Australia, he had many occupations such as auto biographer/memoirist, cattle herder, market gardener and as a low-life thief. Then something happened that was to change his life forever. Women were his downfall his entire life. One day Martin came home to

He was the eldest son of John Red Kelly, an immigrant from Ireland, and Ellen, also an immigrant from Ireland. Ned Kelly was most known for stealing horses and robbing from banks.

Ned Kelly was a notorious bushranger in Australia. People formed thoughts on Ned Kelly after his death. Some doubted him, as a villain who committed all behaviours of crime. Some believed he was a hero who fought for the fairness of people. Whereas, many saw him as a victim with no community status. I strongly believe that Ned Kelly was indeed a victim, who suffered unjust sentence and whom police treated very unfairly. He had low economic status and he was not able to defend his rights. If you look back and read through his history, you would find the pages of evidence and the numerous reasons why Ned Kelly was the dreadful person everyone thought he was. But... there is also evidence that indicates that Ned was not a ruthless person- but
Clyde Chestnut Barrow was born on March 24, 1909, into a family of four children. Ironically, when the midwife told a local physician of his birth, the physician incorrectly recorded it as “baby girl Barrow'; in the Vital Statistics volume of the Ellis County Courthouse at Waxahachie. Three additional children followed Clyde’s birth, and the families financial difficulties worsened as the price for cotton bounced up and down. After some years, the Barrow’s found it impossible to provide for their children and sent them to live with relatives in east Texas. At one relatives home, Clyde developed two interests that remained with him to the end of his life: a passion for music, and an obsession with guns.
Of all the empires that have come and gone, none have left a mark as visible as Rome’s. With an empire as great as Rome many great things come from them. Of all the great pieces of art to come out of Rome, almost none are as great as the Capitoline Wolf. It’s a master work that's so remarkable that it can be seen all throughout Rome. It’s for good reason too— the Capitoline Wolf legend has to do with the very foundation of Rome. What's important about the Capitoline Wolf is the story behind it, how it compares to other Roman artworks, and its modern day influence.
The large front windows were painted with signs for today’s specials. Lean beef mince perfect for low fat diet, winter roasts - rolled roast beef, leg of lamb and pork.

Charles Thomas Close is well-acknowledged and admired for his highly inventive techniques used to paint the human face. He was born on July 5, 1940 in Monroe, Washington. He was the son of two artistic parents. They showed much interest in his early creative interest. Unfortunately, Charles had a learning disability from severe dyslexia. Throughout school, he struggled in all subjects except for art. His neuromuscular condition prevented him from being able to attend any sports.

Right before he thought his life couldn’t go much worse, his health took a turn as he suffered from a kidney infection which landed him stuck in a bed for about a year.

Although partially true in its time, the Australian bush legend fades more and more as time progresses. The Australian identity of the 1890s was not the same as it was in the 1950s, nor do we have the same self-image today, as portrayed in 'The Australian Legend'. Recent statistics show that we work longer hours and drink far less then we used to. Many more Australians go to the beach than to the bush and despite the iconic male bushman, for most men and women in Australia the beach is far more central to our identity and lives, as the majority of the population lives closer to our coastal shores.
