Fragmentary Canberra flogging tale from old letters era
In a contested Canberra flogging report locals dispute early events in New South Wales. The account blends hearsay about a tree used for punishment, distant stations, and alleged details from 1670s era families, with references to various observers and old hands. The piece recounts claims of logging, the tree’s fate, and a long, graphic description of flogging practices, while noting inconsistencies and possible bias.
