Gallery of log for What Rock!
Thunderbolts Rocks - Just south of Uralla on the New England Highway between Tamworth and Armidale. This is the same photo/item I used for the locationless....Named After a Bushranger...hope that is ok.
Captain Thunderbolt - real name Frederick Wordsworth Ward - was an Australian Bushranger known as the Gentleman Bushranger. He was Born ??-???-1835 and Died 25 May 1870.
Thunderbolt used these large granite rocks to hide amongst while waiting for travellers to come past and would them hold them up. He was the longest roaming Bushranger in Australia history, managing to avoid capture for 6.5 years. He was shot and killed by a police officer after, apparently, spending too much time in hotel and being a little confused when leaving.
Captain Thunderbolt is buried in the Uralla Cemetery.
