In the late 1800s, the northwest of Tasmania was a wild place, where only the wildest of people survived. One such man was T.B. Margetts.
Born in Leicestershire but raised in Tasmania, he was a pioneer, adventurer, farmer and horseman. He was stubborn as they come, a bit hot-headed and never lost a battle.
An encounter with a bushranger in his youth also made him so security-conscious it was bordering on the paranoid, and he always wore a money belt of gold sovereigns and slept with a loaded revolver under his pillow as a result.
Meet this “ordinary” man as he battles the bush, threatens a fist fight outside a courthouse, waves a gun at his would-be son-in-law and travels the world three times over.
