Extraordinary footage and audio of the events surrounding the Wieambilla massacre have been released as part of the marathon inquest underway in Brisbane.
The inquest is examining the murders of police officers Rachel McCrow and Matthew Arnold, good Samaritan Alan Dare and the shooting deaths of doomsday killers Nathaniel, Gareth and Stacey Train.
Here are all the exhibits presented in the first two weeks of the five-weeek inquest.
Alan Dare’s final moments

Officers walk directly into an ambush
Constables Randall Kirk, Keely Brough, McCrow and Arnold walked directly into the line of fire. They jumped the front gate of the Trains’ rural property and began walking down the long drive, with Const. Kirk saying “did you see there’s an arrest warrant for this fella” just seconds before a shot rang out.
