Bushranging origins and notable bushrangers in Monaro era
The account recounts the rise of bushranging among young Australians who evaded police by branding cattle and stealing stock. It notes figures such as Gardiner, Vane, and the Clarkes, including two who were deadly murderers, and reflects on their backgrounds, the Jinden murder, and the local response. The writer also mentions Ben Rison as a famed tracker and discusses wheat farming lessons from David Goll on Monaro.
