Three siblings: Michael, 29, Norah, 27, and Ellen, 18, set off for a Boxing Day dance at the small Queensland town of Gatton. The year was 1898 and their mode of transport was a sulky, a small horse-drawn carriage. They arrived at the hall to find the dance cancelled and, feeling disappointed, began to make their way back to the family farm. The following morning, when they failed to return, their brother-in-law was sent to search for them. He found the three siblings in a small wooded paddock a little way from the road, witnessing a scene like none other throughout the history of Australian crime.
