THE STORY OF THE RIBBON GANG
The Ribbon gang was founded by Ralph Entwistle, a young English
convict. Ralph had been sentenced to life transportation to New
South Wales for stealing clothing. He was sent across the newly
traversed Blue Mountains to work on the land of John Lipscombe, near
Bathurst.
In November 1829, Ralph and another prisoner were given the task of
driving a bullock dray to the Sydney markets. The cargo was a load of
merino wool, which would bring a handsome return for their master.
After selling the wool, they had returned with the proceeds and
supplies down Parramatta Rd to Lapstone Hill, over the Blue Mountains
along Cox's road, down the precipitous Mt York pass, and along the
old Bathurst road through Hartley, O'Connell and Tarana. On returning
to Bathurst, they paused for a dip in the cool waters of the Macquarie
River. In fact a skinny dip! Unfortunately for the two swimmers, the
Governor was in the area to inspect the new settlement of Bathurst.
Just as the two were cooling off, the governor's party were about to
cross the river. Realising their imminent danger, the two convicts hid
on the bank behind some reeds and tried to dress. However they
hadn't realised that there were two groups of soldiers and were
promptly arrested by the second group, led by the Bathurst
magistrate!
Later Ralph Entwistle became embittered and this incident together
with similar ones led to the first major rebellion of convicts west of the
Blue Mountains. Less than a year later, Entwistle persuaded a number
of other convicts to take up arms and take to the bush.
On September 23rd 1830, nine men escaped from their master and
roamed the countryside in the Fitzgerald Valley, south of Bathurst.
The men visited properties and stole food, guns, horses and
ammunition. The gang persuaded other convicts to join in until the
gang grew to around 50. One Sydney newspaper was reporting a full
scale rebellion of 500 escapees roaming around Bathurst! A local press
report written by George Suttor of Bathurst mentioned the leader of
the gang wearing "a profusion of white streamers in his hat". Some
called them the ribbon boys.
Many of the gang were of Irish extraction and may have copied an
Irish secret society known as the 'Ribbon men' using this as a sign of
their rebellion.
The Ribbon gang headed towards the Abercrombie river and at
Trunkey Creek, a hard core group split from the masses and headed
for the nearby Abercrombie caves. After resting in the caves for a
while, the police and troopers finally caught up with them. A pitched
battle took place on top of Grove Creek Falls resulting in bloodshed
on both sides and the gang losing their horses. The rebels retreated on
foot back to the caves, hiding in Bushranger's cave.The fugitives
attempted to head for the hills. About 3km from the caves, they
encountered a group of soldiers. A gun battle ensued and the gang
were surrounded and arrested.
Ralph Entwistle and his men were charged with murder, bushranging
and horse thieving in Bathurst. On November 1830, ten members of
the Ribbon boys were hanged. This was the first and largest public
hanging in Bathurst. The site of the hanging is marked today by the
council street sign 'Ribbon Gang Lane'.
