Bathurst rebellion
The Bathurst rebellion of 1830 was an outbreak of bushranging near Bathurst in the British colony of New South Wales, Australia, involving a group of escaped convicts who ransacked villages and engaged in shootouts between October and November of that year. Led by 25-year-old English convict Ralph Entwistle, the group, known as the Ribbon Gang, numbered up to 130 men at its peak, making it the largest convict uprising in New South Wales history since the Castle Hill convict rebellion of 1804.
