Tracking Frank Thomas

Overview

Three Springs police constable Charlie Kroschel engaged skilled Aboriginal tracker Joachim Dido to help find the whereabouts of bushranger Frank Thomas. Over two weeks in the cold of winter they traversed the country across Winchester and Coorow. It was later remarked that Dido hadn't helped as much as he could have, as he didn't want the police to capture Frank!

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
