With over 200 locations, they have filmed the robbery sites, shootout sites, gravesites, museums and buildings associated with the various bushranger activities throughout Australia’s first one hundred years.
It has been Mr Hunn’s intention for some time to look for, and attempt to present to the public, the human faces and voices of such men as Phillip Cunningham, Ralph Entwistle, Dan Morgan, Ben Hall, Captain Thunderbolt, Captain Moonlite and Ned Kelly.
“To this end and the best of my ability, we will be returning to Victoria and NSW in early February to record a number of pre-arranged interviews with various authors and historians that are specialists in their respective areas of historical expertise,” said Mr Hunn.
Interviews that have already been arranged include the authors, Keith McMenomy - Ned Kelly, Peter Bradley - Ben Hall, Henry Bialowas The Ribbon Gang, Carol Baxter - Captain Thunderbolt and His Lady, Samantha Anderson - Captain Moonlite, Kerry Medway - John Dunn The Teenage Bushranger, Craig Bratby - John Vane The Bushranger and Alan Cochrane - the Raid on Bathurst, as well as a number of local historians and descendants.
They will be flying down from Queensland in early February and then travelling up from Melbourne, filming for a number of days, before arriving in Bathurst the afternoon of Friday February 13 and the following day driving down though Rockley Dunn’s Plains, Limerick, Binda, Crookwell and Goulburn on Saturday February 14 (Valentine’s Day) and then on to Marulan, Penrose and Sydney on the Sunday.
Upon completion, they will be submitting “Where The Bushrangers Rode" to a number of documentary film festivals as well as independent distributors and public broadcasters worldwide.
In addition to telling a compelling and historically accurate story, it is their intention that this documentary travelogue will also promote our country's rich cultural history and inland Australia’s many associated tourism attractions.
