Imagine a bank heist so perfect, the thieves didn't break a single lock and the town ran entirely out of cash by Monday morning. In this episode of The DownUnder Mystery Club, authors AJ Blythe and Ava Ness travel back to 1932 to unpack the legendary, unsolved Cloncurry bank robberies and discuss how the robbers hit two major banks in one night using the ultimate security oversight.

Listen in as we separate the hard historical facts from 90 years of beer-soaked folklore—including a wild river party, a duped bank manager, and a secret wax impression. Then we head into the Mystery Book Club segment to chat about the best mystery novels this wild outback case brings to mind!

Do you think it was an inside job, or did a group of local larrikins actually pull off the ultimate heist? We want to hear your theories and your reading lists!
