Description

This second lap of Australia's badlands starts with a jilted bride sending her groom to a fiery grave and closes with a violent robber in a Tasmanian jail. In between there is the endlessly diverse parade of humanity on display: the good, the amusing, the cunning, the inept and the truly disturbing. From mum and dad armed robbers who bring babysitters in to free themselves up for a good night's pillaging, to a partly-innocent serial killer and a partly-guilty police force, there is plenty here to shock and entertain.
