    In the heart of Castlemaine stands the statue of Jack Duggan, the infamous protagonist of the world-renowned ballad The Wild Colonial Boy. According to lore, this rebellious "bushranger" was born here in 1829 before heading to Australia. For cyclists on the route to the Dingle Peninsula, this is an iconic photo stop; the bronze monument celebrates the untamed Irish spirit and the deep historical connection between Kerry and the rest of the world.

    As the wild Colonial Boy, Jack Duggon is a kind of Robin Hood hero figure and is sung about in songs.
