'Robbery Under Arms' is a 1907 Australian film based on the popular 1888 novel. It was from the team of J and N Tait and Millard Johnson and W Gibson, who had just made 'The Story of the Kelly Gang'.[http://lantern.mediahist.org/catalog/filmyearb1922192223newy_0187 "Film Year Book: The 1922-23 Film Daily Year Book of Motion Pictures" p 171].

Another film based on the same the book came out the same year, which was filmed in Sydney.[http://lantern.mediahist.org/catalog/filmdaily4950newy_0935 W Gibson obituary which refers to film] This has led to some confusion as to whether the Tait-Johnson-Gibson film even existed.
