The Ribbon Boys: Australia's Forgotten Convict Rebellion

In 1830, the Bathurst district was gripped by fear as a band of runaway convicts known as the Ribbon Boys defied colonial authority. Led by English convict Ralph Entwistle, their short-lived rebellion became one of the most dramatic episodes in Australia's convict history, ending in the largest mass execution ever carried out in New South Wales. Join me as we follow Entwistle's extraordinary journey from transported brick-maker to rebel leader, visiting the places where this forgotten chapter of history unfolded.
