And I meet and had a brief chat with Bret Lee when he was up in Darwin playing a test match (back when he was 12th man for the squad), But probably my best claim to fame would have to be that I meet and dined with the chaser boys at Nandos when they came to Darwin on there live stage tour (along with like 8 other people who saw them).

my cousins were the

THE CLARKE BROTHERS or THE CLARKE GANG

worst of all australian bushrangers in there time 5 * (times ) worst than ned kelly, FRED WARD ( CAPTAIN THUNDERBOLT ) , BEN HALL , many others.

The murderous Clarke brothers were worse than any other bushrangers, outdoing the notorious Ned Kelly, Ben Hall, Captain Lightning, Frank Gardiner and Thunderbolt. The Clarke and Connell gang became known as "The Bloodiest Bushrangers".

The Clarke brothers were Australian bushrangers active in New South Wales the late 19th century.

The Clarke brothers, Thomas and John and James, were from Braidwood, New South Wales. From 1865 they were active around the area that became the Australian Capital Territory, where they held up stations, raided stores and performed an armed holdup on the Queanbeyan Mail. In 1866, they held the town of Michelago, New South Wales captive while they waited for gold being escorted from Kiandra.

In their relatively short career as bushrangers, they are thought to have killed five policemen and committed 36 holdups. When they were captured they were both in their early 20s. They were executed in Sydney on June 25, 1867
