Home of Jack Duggan, 'The Wild Colonial Boy' In the Irish version of the ballad, Jack Duggan is an emigrant to Australia in the 1800s who becomes a bushranger.

There was a wild colonial boy, Jack Duggan was his name He was born and bred in Ireland in a place called Castlemaine He was his father's only son, his mother's pride and joy And dearly did his parents love the Wild Colonial Boy

At the age of sixteen years he left his native home And through Australia's sunny clime he was inclined to roam He robbed the lordly squatters, their flocks he would destroy A terror to Australia was the Wild Colonial Boy

The Australian version does not mention Ireland at all and their Castlemaine may be the one in Victoria.
