Whirlwind, the Bushranger, or the Roaring Forties is a 1907 Australian play by Edward Irham Cole about the ficitious bushranger.
[4] Cole wrote several works about bushrangers such as Ned Kelly and Ben Hall.
[5] The play appears to have been less popular than Cole's work based on real bushrangers although it was performed by Cole's company over a number of years.
[6][7] The Sydney Morning Herald said "The drama abounds in realism, sensationalism, pathos, and humour, and is well mounted.
"[8] The play's debut production followed that of another Cole work The Missing Partner.
