GRIPPING GUNFIGHTS OF AUSTRALIA: from BUSHRANGERS to THE BOMBING OF DARWIN

By Jim McGuiness

Dramatic action stories from Australia's past:
The Lachlan Bushrangers - Frank Gardiner got out of Cockatoo Island Prison with no intention of going straight. He created a gang of bushrangers that included Ben Hall, Johnny Gilbert, and John O'Meally. They lived violently and died violently. The Lambing Flat Riots - The gold rush brought anti-Chinese riots which would culminate in a deadly clash between diggers and police troopers. Captain Moonlite - From pastor to bushranger. Andrew Scott, obsessed with a need for recognition, led a gang of young men in a vain attempt at bushranger glory ending at the Darlinghurst gallows. Squizzy Taylor - There was plenty of shooting in Melbourne in the 1920s and Taylor was in the thick of it. The Bombing Of Darwin - The surprise Japanese attack on Darwin called Australia's Pearl Harbour with personal stories of those beneath the bombs.

History dramatised in the same fashion as its companion volume Historic Gunfights Of Australia.
