Thunderbolt’s Grave is the grave of Frederick Ward, a bushranger in the 1800s known as Captain Thunderbolt.
Fred Ward died 25th May, 1870, aged 36 years. There have been claims made that the grave is of his uncle (or brother?) William, and Fred was not shot at Kentucky Creek (roughly west of Thunderbolts Rock).
The grave stone reads, Erected by New England Residents to Mary. Where Lies Thunderbolt (Fred Ward). Frederick Ward was married to Mary Ann Bugg.
North of Uralla at Black Mountain is Thunderbolts Cave 
, which Captain Thunderbolt used when he conducted robberies in the area. His area extended throughout the New England region and Southern Queensland. Thunderbolts Hideout is another cave near Tenterfield.
