Murder and a Kimberley manhunt told in a colonial tale
Hamlet Cornish chronicles the 1882 murder of Tony Cornish, a young squatter in the Kimberleys, and the brutal pursuit of Guirella the native killer. The narrative traces the formation of settler stations, clashes with Aborigines, and a long hunt led by Cornish across rugged country, ending in Guirella’s capture and execution, with aftermath including property gains and renewed frontier life.
