I went out with a serach party under Insp Brook Smith from Wangaratta to Yarrawonga on 6/11/1878.
On 8/11/1878 we went to Lake Rowan and on to Joe Ryan's where we found the tracks of the KellyGang. Const Johnson and I followed them for over 20 miles into the Warby Ranges (RC12365)
On 12/11/1878 I was back in the Warby Ranges with another search party. I came back with Sgt Steele. (RC12478)
I knew that country well and was out with Const Johnson as we followed the tracks on a number of days despite the problem with Insp Brook Smith. I could have taken the others to an exact spot in those hills. (RC12400)
