Forgotten Australia

When Santa Broke Into Pentridge


Listen Later

It was the criminal Christmas miracle to warm the hardest heart. During the festive season in 1951, Pentridge prisoners got a surprise visit from Santa, aka the cheeky crook Harold 'Dusty' Sheehan, who could get out of — and into — prisons as easily as Old St Nick down a chimney.

This ‘regifted’ episode was originally released in 2021.


Another new episode will be out next week.

Merry Christmas!
