Thunderbolt’s Way

For seven years, the suspected murderer, Brian Nadden stalked the bushland of the Hunter Valley and beyond, evading police at every turn and gaining almost folkloric status in an area of Australia already well known for its history of bushranger activity. Thunderbolt’s Way, the eponymously named road near Gloucesters in the Hunter Valley of NSW is believed to be one of routes that Nadden used to move from place to place in the dark of night in his seven years as a fugitive.
