Public Records Office Victoria<\/strong><\/p>\n

A recent PROV discovery has sparked calls to set up a trail in the historic gold mining town Mount Egerton, detailing sites in the elaborate bank robbery where Andrew Scott first adopted the name Captain Moonlite in 1869. <\/p>\n

Buildings associated with the theft have long since vanished \u2013 but this month a map attached to an original police statement by 19-year-old bank clerk Ludwig Brunn came to light, thanks to a search at PROV by Federation University’s Dr David Waldron.<\/p>\n

“These sites linked to Captain Moonlite are all within walking distance of each other in Mount Egerton and I think we should mark them with some long-lasting quality signposts and information boards,” the senior history lecturer said.<\/p>\n

A network of local community groups has been established to develop a Heritage Activation (including interpretative signage and a QR based walking trail with AV digital content) telling the story of Moonlight and other heritage features of the town.<\/p>\n

The Moonlite story has been dramatised by Dr Waldron in his podcast series ‘Tales from Rat City’ in a three-part episode recreating the dramatic rise and fall of the infamous bushranger. <\/p>\n
