Escaping over the walls of Fannie Bay gaol for a temporary respite was a regular occurrence tolerated by warders in the 1950s and '60s, but this tolerance was tested to the limits by the frequent disappearances of one prisoner. Following the intervention of a respected lawyer, the prisoner finally served out his sentence, realising that this was the quickest route to freedom.
