Matthew Brady was also a famous Australian Bushranger.
He was born in Manchester, England 1799 and transported to botany Bay for forgery and later transported to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania). In 1824 he escaped from Macquarie Harbour aboard a stolen whale boat with 13 others, and proceeded to rob homes, small towns and travellers along the country roads all around Tasmania. In 1824 Governor Arthur posted a reward for his capture. Brady was betrayed by an informer named Cowan who joined the gang in 1825, resulting in a clash with soldiers of Lieutenant Williams' 40th Regiment during which several gang members and soldiers were killed. A wounded Brady fled to the bush and was pursued and captured by John Batman (who later founded Melbourne) and his Aboriginal trackers. He was taken to Hobart Town, tried and sentenced to death, and was hanged in April 1826.
