Our Voices Phase 2 Nation: Ben Hall

Ben Hall, the bushranger, was shot by police in 1865. He became an Australian legend. People wrote songs and poems about his bravery, and to his loyalty to his mates. They told stories about how Ben Hall outwitted the police, and how he helped the poor and robbed the rich. But, does the legend tell the true story? Was Ben Hall a hero, or was he just a villain?
