It includes profiles on Aboriginal outlaws and leaders such as Joe Flick, Nemarluk and Minmara; the murder of Traynor and Fagan off Woodah Island; the spearing of Constable McColl; the ambushing of Hemming's patrol; the killing of the Japanese of the luggers' Ouida, The Myrtle, The Olga and the Raff; the spearing of Stephens and Cobb.[3][4]
