Publisher's Synopsis
On a cold winter night in July 1900, Jimmy Governor and Jacky Underwood smashed their way into the Mawbey homestead at Breelong and began killing women and children. In Australia's greatest manhunt lasting 101 days, over 100 police and civilians pursued Jimmy Governor and his brother Joe through the Australian bush, on foot, for 4,000 kilometres. Using meticulous research, Maurie Garland sheds new light on the Governor and Mawbey families to provide a new analysis of the story that gripped Australia in 1900.
