Bushranging was largely considered a bygone era by the 1890s. There were however a few major cases from this point on, including the Governor gang—a trio consisting of Aboriginal fencing contractor [[Jimmy Governor]], his brother Joe Governor, and associate Jack Underwood. In July 1900 they perpetrated the Breelong Massacre, killing four members of the Mawbey family and a schoolteacher.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=The Governor Brothers {{!}} State Library of New South Wales|url=https://www2.sl.nsw.gov.au/archive/discover_collections/people_places/caergwrle/bushrangers/governor/index.html|access-date=2021-12-29|website=www2.sl.nsw.gov.au}}</ref> The Governor brothers proceeded to engage in a crime spree across northern New South Wales, murdering an additional four people and triggering one of the largest [[Manhunt (law enforcement)|manhunts]] in Australian history.<ref name=":0" /> After three months, Jimmy was arrested by a group of armed locals in [[Bobin, New South Wales|Bobin]], and his brother Joe was fatally shot near [[Singleton, New South Wales|Singleton]] a few days later.<ref name=":1">{{Citation|last=Walsh|first=G.

The Kenniff brothers, [[Patrick Kenniff|Patrick]] and James, were notorious stock thieves who operated in western Queensland. In March 1902, they murdered constables George Doyle and Albert Dahlke, who were sent to apprehend them. Three months later, the brothers were captured on 23 June at now-named Arrest Creek. Both brothers were convicted of murder, with Patrick sentenced to hang, and James initially sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.
