Captain Thunderbolt (Frederick Ward) was an Australian bushranger from 1863 until his death in 1870. He was known as the Gentlemanly Bushranger due to him not wanting to perpetrate violence against those whom he robbed. Thunderbolt roamed far and wide but when in the New England area, used this rock - previously known as Big Rock & Split Rock to hide while waiting to ambush & rob passers-by.
Captain Thunderbolt was shot and killed nearby by Constable Walker in 1970 & his grave is located in the Uralla graveyard (I will do another video of his grave site when I next return to Uralla).
All sites associated with Thunderbolt in the area are Heritage Listed. It is a travesty that Thunderbolt's Rock has been defaced in recent years by all the graffiti.
