Ralph Rashleigh and the Bushrangers is a 1953 Australian radio play by Edmund Barclay based on an 1840s novel by James Tucker.[3][4]
The novel had been republished in 1952, edited by Colin Roderick who claimed that he discovered James Tucker was the author. This event ignited a great deal of public interest in the novel which would be adapted for radio three times over a two-year period: twice by the ABC, and once by commercial radio.[5][6]
There was another ABC radio adaptation of a Tucker work, Jemmy Green in Australia.
