The Plenty Bushrangers of 1842: the first Europeans hanged in Victoria
Written by Lindsay Mann (1996)
This is a colourful account of a series of incidents which led to a pitched battle between the gang and members of the Melbourne Club, leading to Melbourne’s first bushranger trial and white hangings in Victoria. It explores the conflicting interests of the Aborigines and the landed gentry that created turbulence in the 1840’s.
The terror that this gang brought almost led to a militia force called The Port Phillip Volunteers being created.
