I was the Punisher at a Southern NSW penal colony between 1838 and 1841.

Dr Duck
W.E.B. Griffin - The Corps
Didn't like his lack of research regarding our parochial habits - he claimed we like our beer warm and every second word is 'sodding', but he nailed it with regard the Coastwatchers.

 

[xcvator]

Governor Sir George Gipps
Cockatoo Island 1839 - 1841

 

[Eldorado]

Not Sir George Gipps Xcvator,the penal colony was a little further south.

 

[NeilM]

Mr Short

 

[NeilM]

or Alexander Green

 

[Eldorado]

Not Mr Short or Alexander Green.Interesting fact though about Alexander Green,he hung two guys on the Goulburn Plains in November 1831 and these two men hung in chains until 1833 when Governor Bourke ordered them to be buried.The gallows were situated straight across the road from my house on Gallows Hill in Goulburn.
NEXT HINT.Penal colony was not far from Goulburn.

Billy O'Rouke @ Towrang Stockade

 

[Eldorado]

Billy O'Rouke @ Towrang Stockade

I will accept that answer Xcvator.Billy was the chief punisher at Towrang Stockade known as the Towrang Flogger but he was replaced between 1838 and 1841 by a guy named Black Francis known as the Goulburn Castigator.Black Francis was found murdered at Run'o Waters near Goulburn.Your turn mate. :Y:
