When notorious bushranger Thomas Jeffries took a young family hostage in 1825, he performed an act so despicable, he had the entire island of Van Diemen’s Land calling for his execution.
It was New Year’s Eve in 1825 when John and Elizabeth Tibbs with their five-month-old baby were visited by a group of bushrangers. The leader was Thomas Jeffries, a killer who had earnt himself the nickname, The Monster.
The outlaws turned their house inside out as they helped themselves to the family’s possessions, before marching them, along with five other prisoners, for miles through the Tasmanian bush. And the truly horrific acts the bushrangers committed that day would see every person in that part of the country baying for blood.
But in the end, it would fall on the shoulders of 19-year-old Elizabeth Tibbs to bring The Monster down.
