Robbery Under Arms, written by Rolf Boldrewood and first published in 1882, is a bushranger novel that captures the adventurous life in the Australian bush during the late 19th century.

“You never saw a man in such a funk. He was a storekeeper, we found afterwards. He nearly dropped on his knees. Then he handed Starlight a bundle of notes, a gold watch, and took a handsome diamond ring from his finger. This Starlight put into his pocket. He handed the notes and watch to Jim, who had a leather bag ready for them. The man sank down on the ground; he had fainted.””
— Rolf Boldrewood
“The fishing wasn't bad either. The creeks ran towards the north-west watershed and were full of codfish, bream, and perch. Even the jewfish wasn't bad with their skins off.””
— Rolf Boldrewood
