Swinging in the 'Sixties: Hanging around colonial Queensland

Christopher Dawson

During the 1860s the new colony of Queensland expanded north and west. New towns meant new prisons, and in the cases of Brisbane, Toowoomba, Rockhampton and Maryborough it also meant the arrival of the spectre of the gallows. 

This is the eigth Inside History publication by historian Christopher Dawson on executions in Queensland, and completes his coverage of the 94 executions to take place in the state.
