Amazing stories of very rough men that had no scruples and with the lure of get rich it attracted so many men of all types to the Gold field's in early New Zealand and are born such fascinating history sadly sometimes of such ill report as these men were.
I remember driving the Maungatapu as a kid and stopping at murderers rock and my father telling me about the killings there. Very interesting story, thanks for sharing.

He has to play both sides though? Without Graham we wouldn't have heard this AT ALL, he gave it the air time! If he isn't sceptical it ruins the whole narrative
This is just up the track/road from where my Dad lives way out in the wop wops, my cuz and I used to ride our motorbikes around there all the time. Such a stunning part of the country.
Melbourne wasn't a penal colony. Burgess may have come to NZ from there, but there's no way he was transported there. Makes a bloke question everything after that statement...
this would make a great TV show. We need this instead of "Celebrity" Treasure island.
Greetings from Louisiana, USA.
Im sold; great channel!
A beautiful corner of the world you are from. Go pelicans!
Outram was founded in 1861, same year the mangatua are mentioned here. I'm guessing the glen was the location of those 15 robberies.

Amazing video mate, keep up the good work.
What went on in New Zealand during the gold rushes and the Land wars makes the so-called Wild West look like a Sunday School picnic

Great part of NZ history, well told. The interviewer is a bit lame with their comments, but overall a stunning recollection of a fascinating story.
Agreed. Very lame in the mysterious shipwreck episodes too.

A,asking history you never hear about ,

Burgess reminds me of that former Dead Rabbit that had become a crooked police officer in Gangs of New York
That kiwi used to freak me out
A fence is still a criminal lol!
I just had to use a Red dead redemption fence for the image and indeed
@@epigwaitthistory Lol. I play that and Elden Ring.
Come on.....Australia was a penal settlement...what did you expect.
Should have been deported back to the UK after their prison time.
The administration was unheard of then.
@@sandralibeau4795
That's what I always remind myself with when Australia cheats at sports and everything else.
@@sandralibeau4795Half of the reason they were taken to Australia was to populate it. If he saved the fare he could have gone back to the UK.
The Sydneysiders gang in the California goldfields were also aussies notorious for robbing prospectors

The ship he was on went to Melbourne. Imagine being that arrogant to leave a comment like that. Ships didn't act like Ubers wake up
