Clarke Brothers Socks
Description: In the 1860s the Clarke Gang terrorised the area around Braidwood, NSW. Over the years the gang members were killed or captured until the last two members were ringleader Thomas Clarke and his little brother John. Thomas Clarke was a stock thief who soon became a highwayman and murderer, dragging family members into his lawless activities and eventually meeting his end on the gallows after a big shoot-out with police.
Description: Often considered the most bloody-thirsty of the bushrangers, Clarke led a gang with his cousins the Connells and Berrimans and his brother John. He was responsible for the deaths of no less than four policemen and countless robberies in a bushranging career that ended with an epic shootout in the Jingera Ranges.
