Mail used to be a useful source of income and easy pickings for 19th century Australian bushrangers who regularly held up and robbed the famed Cobb & Co coaches that provided vital communication links between Australia’s major cities and regional towns.
Many of the registered letters contained banknotes and, once opened, the envelopes were then tossed aside.
