Australian Bushranging The Early Days Continued
The narrative follows Gardiner and the outlaw Presley, detailing bushranging in 1860 61 across Abercrombie Burrangong and Cowra districts. Plundering mail coaches and travelers, Presley often led robberies while Gardiner’s role remained noted. The text recounts robberies on the Gundagai to Yass mail route and various lootings, including drivers and travelers, as police close in.
