Australian Buck Ranging and Harling Days Recalled
In this old account convicts led by Day and James Hoald test endurance with a long Kauri spear cast. Hoald questioned his skill while Day hurled the wooden spear as the crowd watched. Day’s fate hovered over the incident and Heald’s death overshadowed the event. Day was released later and returned to Bathurst where he died in 1898 after a life as a blacksmith and digger marked by long seclusion.
