Captain Thunderbolt's Death Site is a heritage-listed paddock in the Kentucky District, in the New England region of New South Wales, Australia.

Walker was approximately half a mile away when he heard shots being fired and met Mulhall while ascending the hill towards the Inn.

The younger man appeared to herd the older away from the road forcing him to ride west along Blanch's fence.

Walker crossed the river and had to go about 91 metres (100 yd) to where Thunderbolt was, now back on the opposite side of the creek.

"I will die first" Thunderbolt spat back, likely the hell that was Cockatoo Island forefront in his mind.

They were unsuccessful and it was not until daylight the following day that Walker accompanied by Senior Constable Mulhall, a man named Dwyer and Senior Constable Scott were able to retrieve the body and returned it to Blanch's Royal Oak Inn for the magisterial inquiry before being moved to Uralla.

[1] The adjacent landowner had previously provided access for visitors to Thunderbolt's Death Site, however this has stopped due to the amount of rubbish being left in the paddocks.

The site is also significant for its associations with Constable Alexander Binning Walker who was promoted after the shooting of Thunderbolt, eventually rising to the rank of Superintendent in the NSW Police Force.

Thunderbolt is one of the best known bushrangers who operated in New South Wales and forms a significant element to the construction of the Australian identity.

With the rise in nationalist sentiment leading up to Federation it was important for colonists and early Australians to be able to present themselves as a young and respectable nation.

Death sites of cultural legends like Captain Thunderbolt have high value to a range of people.

[1] The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.

The large majority of NSW bushrangers were killed in sieges in buildings; were hanged in Darlinghurst Gaol, or died under more ordinary circumstances.
