Im off to Perth by road now so someone else can post a question.

The answer to my question was a Horse named Norseman !!!!
Norseman in WA is a gold town was named after this horse.
I posted it as a melb cup flavour hence the horse clues ( Whinny etc)

I thought it was easy as. Needed the Doc to answer it !!

Cheers

Hint:Here is a fairly easy one if your true blue but then again I could be just stringi-ng everyone along or just bark-ing up the wrong-tree...

Question: Who is the person that is in this image and so grossly displayed and where did it take place and why?

MODS: Please feel free to delete the image or the post if some find it offensive..........

Last Hint: I was out at our -Local- festival today and was given these items! Before being shot my mother would frequently invite me into her Woolshed home, Only until recently I rested in an unmarked grave..

Mr Joe Byrnes hanging on that door (Benalla I think). He was dragged out in Ann Jones in after dying from blood loss (.577 Matini-Henry police bullet to femoral) and why he wasn't burned. In the 90's spent many a time in the Woolshed detecting a few of his and Aaron Sherritt's old places.

Your Right on the money Dutchy and a great answer. Here is the link from where I gathered the information http://www.ironoutlaw.com/gang/ Its your turn at a question now Dutchy Good luck

 

[Dutchy]

Thanks, don't know if this question has been asked.

Who was known as the bloodiest bushrangers? The ones that killed the most people.

 

[Balmain Bob]

I recon that the Clark Brothers would have to be up near the top of the list.
They killed at 5 policemen.

 

[Dutchy]

That was an easy one. They were known as the bloodiest bushrangers and killed 5 police (4 at one time), wounded a few more. They also killed a member of their own gang. The Hall gang were the best thief's and the Clarkes were most prolific killers.

Your turn for the question.

 

[Balmain Bob]

Thanks Dutchy.

I will be back with a question shorlty

 

[Balmain Bob]

The truly amazing aviation incident occurred in southern NSW in 1940.

What was the incident?

 

[B5MECH]

Mid air collision Bob!

 

[Balmain Bob]

most mid air collisions aren't that amzing

What might make one amazing?

 

[B5MECH]

The two aircraft locked together, the navigators and the pilot of the lower plane bailed out and the top plane while still locked with the lower, landed safely in a paddock
Lucky guys

 

[Balmain Bob]

Well done B5MECH,
Its am amazing story of bravery and skill of the pilot to be able to land the aircraft after they became locked together.
