Dogs War in Goulburn 1828 1848 Proclaimed Nuisance
In 1828 the governor extended provisions of the Dig Act to Goulburn for a dog nuisance. By 1848 a police “dog war” drove unregistered dogs into the market green, with two police factions called the Invincibles and the Blues. Twenty dogs were killed in a square formation clash, and later attacks in 1856 kept residents armed. The piece notes police, mostly ex soldiers, and pending firefighting readiness.
