The Last Bushrangers by Mike Munro tells the dramatic story of the Kenniff brothers, often described as Queensland’s equivalent of the Kelly gang.

Set in the Carnarvon Ranges in the early years of Federation, the book investigates the 1902 murders of police constable George Doyle and station manager Albert Dahlke, the months-long manhunt, the trial, public controversy, and the brothers’ eventual fates. Munro also brings a personal connection to the story, tracing his own family’s link to the notorious Kenniff name.

As seen on Foxtel History Channel’s Lawless, this is a compelling account of bushranging, crime, justice, family shame and Australian identity.
