A Wild West story from Down Under

News.com.au | Dying man admits to train heist (11-02-2005):
"A DEATHBED confession has reopened a 66-year-old unsolved train robbery which had become folklore in northwest Queensland."

It sounds like the plot of a typical B-movie Western set in America of the 1880s - three men on horseback, two jump onto a moving train while the third keeps the horses, they steal the payroll money being sent by mail pouch to the local mining company, then they jump from the train and go to a place where they have arranged an alibi. But this wasn't our Wild West in the 19th century, it happened in Australia in 1938.
