Mary Ann Bugg Cards

Description: Behind every great man is an even greater woman and that is ever present in the case of Captain Thunderbolt. Fred Ward's wife Mary Ann was a half-Aboriginal woman who assisted her outlaw husband with their young kids in tow. Dressed in men's clothing, she poached cattle and helped to throw police off the Ward's trail with her daring horse riding. Mary Ann Bugg was one of the only female bushrangers and one of the greatest figures in Australian history.
