Description: William Wordsworth - "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" is a lyric poem by William Wordsworth. It is one of his most popular, and was inspired by an encounter on 15th of April 1802, during a walk with his younger sister Dorothy, when they saw a "long belt" of daffodils on the shore of Ullswater in the English Lake District. I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

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.
Description: Frederick Wordsworth Ward was a bushranger that operated under the name "Captain Thunderbolt" in the Uralla region of New South Wales. Accompanied by a range of off-siders including his wife Mary-Ann Bugg, he ruled the roads and became known as a gentleman bushranger. He held no truck with unnecessary violence or murder, turning away accomplices that had committed an act of either. He was eventually gunned down by a police constable as he tried to cross a creek on foot.
