Tales From the Bushranging Day Roars Across the Territory
A firsthand account recalls the 1860s bushranging era with a camp near the Lachlan River, detailing a wild intercept by two men later identified as Frank Gardiner and John Gilbert. The narrative describes loot, near misses with police, a planned plant movement, and encounters at Wagan Falls and Cowra, with mentions of trackers, Army-like pursuit, and field prudence against armed robbers.
