Struberville: The Consequences of Isolation

On a remote cattle station in Far North Queensland, four gold prospectors push their luck and pay the price.

Venturing too close to the homestead they attract the attention of the landholders, who arrive armed and dangerous. Only three of the prospectors make it out alive.

This is the story of Bruce Schuler’s murder at Palmerville Station on the 9th of July, 2012. His murderers, Stephen Struber and his wife Dianne Wilson, had for decades been a law unto themselves, terrorising all who dared cross ‘their’ land. Or as Struber saw it, playing ‘Cowboys and Indians’ and chasing them off the property. Using real bullets.

Struberville is also a look at the darker side of isolation, and what happens to the civilising influence of society when nobody’s watching out there.
