Jack Donahue (1804-1830) était un "bushranger", un bandit de grands chemins australien. Il y a eu de nombreuses ballades écrites sur lui, dont Bold Jack Donahue (L'intrépide Jack Donahue). Il est né à Dublin en 1804. Partisan du nationalisme irlandais, il est condamné à l'âge de 20 ans à être exilé à vie en Nouvelle-Galles du Sud, en Australie, après avoir été accusé de tentative de crime. (fr)
