Bonshaw
Tiny village on the New South Wales -
Queensland border
Bonshaw is a very attractive but tiny village on the
NSW-Queensland border 93 km north of Inverell and 783 km north of
Sydney.
Perhaps the most memorable event in the town's history was
the day in 1867 when notorious bushranger 'Thunderbolt' (alias
Frederick Ward) held up the local hotel, robbing everybody but the
ostler who was known to be poor.
Little remains today, other than a school, since the
hotel burned down. However, Bonshaw Weir remains a popular fishing spot.
