The Matthew Brady Dark Ride - Penny Royal Adventurues | Launceston, Tasmania
The true local story told in the dark ride is of the escaped convict, pirate and ‘gentleman bushranger’ Matthew Brady.
In 1825 Brady was captured near Launceston by the bounty hunter John Batman, who later founded Melbourne.
Among Brady’s featured escapades is his gang’s capture of the township of Sorell and his pirating of the sloop ‘Glutton’ in an attempt to escape from Van Diemen’s Land in late 1825.
