White men face armed mobs in North Queensland frontier clash
The account describes Lyne and Sutherland stopping a Black mob marching on a homestead near Burketown as they fire a carbine. The incident ends with the chiefs boomerangs shattered and the tribesmen fleeing. The tale continues with Lyne’s later travels, settlement patterns, and the fate of early pioneers including Nash Gregg Ranken Steiglitz Cassidy and others across the Georgina Flinders and Cardwell regions through 1868.
