*   How the Native Police were used to enforce law and order.

*   How with the expanding frontier the Native Police were used to "disperse" First Nations people from their lands to make way for colonisation.

*   How the Native Police were a symbol of white colonial attitudes towards First Nations people.

*   About Australia's first Chinese bushranger, and

*   Stories of some female bushrangers.
