Michael Howe: Governor of the Woods
The story of Tasmania's most notorious bushranger.
By those who saw him, Michael was described as a “rough sailor-looking fellow” who stood at around 5ft 8. His eyes were deep set and he had a profusion of coarse hair which framed his slightly pockmarked face.

Hello, My name is Georgina, I’m a 25 year old journalism student who currently resides in the, not so small, island state of Tasmania. When I am not studying, I love to cook, ride my horses and most of all, writing historical fiction. My main passion in life is Australian Bushrangers, with Joe Byrne of the Kelly Gang being my most favoured ‘Outlaw.’ View all posts by anoutlawsjournal
