Fred Lowry Thomas Frederick "Fred" Lowry (1836 – 30 August 1865) was an Australian bushranger and member of the Frank Gardiner–Ben Hall gang. Born near Fish River in New South Wales, he was a stockman before taking to bushranging, mainly in and around the Blue Mountains. Throughout 1862 and 1863, Lowry was involved in shootings, an escape from prison, and robberies, including the bail up of the Mudgee Mail which earned him and his companions £6,000, the largest haul in bushranging history since the Lachlan Gold Escort robbery the previous year. In August 1863, Lowry was cornered by police inside a hotel outside Goulburn and engaged them in a gun battle, during which he was fatally shot in the throat. Before losing consciousness, he told the policemen, "Tell 'em I died game!" It is for these iconic last words that Lowry is chiefly remembered.

Colin Campbell Ross Colin Campbell Eadie Ross (11 October 1892 – 24 April 1922) was an Australian wine-bar owner convicted of the murder of a child, which became known as the Gun Alley Murder, and executed despite evidence that he was innocent. Following his execution, efforts were made to clear his name, but it was not until the 1990s that the key evidence was re-examined using modern forensic techniques, strongly indicating that Ross was innocent. As a result, an appeal for mercy was made to Victoria's Chief Justice in 2006, and on 27 May 2008 the Governor of Victoria pardoned Ross, in what is believed to be an Australian legal first.
