On 1 January 1915 at Broken Hill, two men, Mullah Abdullah (c.1855-1915), a camel-driver and Islamic priest in the company of Gool Badsha Mahomed (c.1875-1915), camel-driver, soldier and labourer decided upon a suicide mission with the intent of killing as many people as possible until they too died.

The first victims of this spree were killed or wounded in the town itself. Then the two men set themselves up in a position to fire upon a 40 wagon picnic train filled with 1200 passengers that was slowly passing by. This resulted in more casualties. Finally the two men were engaged and shot dead. At the end of the day, 4 people were killed and 7 wounded.
