## Resource

Arthur ‘Slim’ Halliday, the Houdini of Boggo Road, pulled off one of Australia’s most legendary jailbreaks in 1946—this time with a flawless plan, a loyal crew, and a taxi ride to freedom. After escaping twice before, he turned his cunning to the storeroom, befriending a key insider and securing a murderer’s financial muscle. Their escape was smooth, their getaway clever, and their capture oddly poetic—surrendered by teen fishermen in the mangroves. Though he’d made a name as a prison-breaker, Halliday’s tale later became a literary sensation, turning a convict into Brisbane folklore.
