A party of police were put at some crossings on Ryan's Creek in January 1879 after the KellyGang had been cited at Greta. They were to watch at night. (RC2030)
Sup Sadleir went out with this small party of police, and traversed the whole country from Kilfera to Kane's old stockyard, in Ryan's Creek, with that object in view and cutting tracks, and that search was kept up from time to time. (RC2032)

In about June 1879 Det Ward received information that the KellyGang were at Bullocky Gully, or at the head of Ryan's Creek. About five or six miles from where the the police were murdered. Consts Mooney, Hayes, Whitty, and SConst Strahan proceeded to there, and made search for three days.(RC3042)
