Fred Lowry Thomas Frederick "Fred" Lowry (1836 – 30 August 1865) was an Australian bushranger and member of the Frank Gardiner–Ben Hall gang. Born near Fish River in New South Wales, he was a stockman before taking to bushranging, mainly in and around the Blue Mountains. Throughout 1862 and 1863, Lowry was involved in shootings, an escape from prison, and robberies, including the bail up of the Mudgee Mail which earned him and his companions £6,000, the largest haul in bushranging history since the Lachlan Gold Escort robbery the previous year. In August 1863, Lowry was cornered by police inside a hotel outside Goulburn and engaged them in a gun battle, during which he was fatally shot in the throat. Before losing consciousness, he told the policemen, "Tell 'em I died game!" It is for these iconic last words that Lowry is chiefly remembered.
