Train Ambush
2017Overview
People often arranged for food and other supplies to be sent from Perth on the train. Bushranger Frank Thomas was known to throw boxes of goods off moving trains and return later on a stolen horse to go through them. In 1921 packages were found in the scrub at Winchester. All of the food had been taken but other things had been left behind, like corsets for Mrs Mathilve Haussler of Gregorfields Farm in Wincchester.
This artwork is part of the '10863 Bushranger presented by Act-Belong-Commit' exhibition, which has been shown at The Bank Gallery in Carnamah, Fremantle Prison, Old Geraldton Gaol, Greenough Museum & Gardens, on the big screen in Perth's Yagan Square and online at www.frankthomas.com.au
