‘Last week end (says the Gazette of the 2nd August) a settler located half a mile from the Mowbray crossing at the foot of the range, missed a valuable bull from his herd, which had evidently been driven from the usual lambing ground by the blacks. After a day's tracking and searching, the head of the beast was found in a gorge only a mile distant from the homestead, but not a fragment of the carcass. Three cows are missing from the herd also. How bold the natives are getting can he judged from the fact of them venturing so close to the settlers camps in broad daylight, and also by the length of time it must have taken them to cut out a few head, and drive them over the huge boulders, which form an almost insurmountable obstacle to the entrance to the gorge. Several horses are missing from their usual feeding ground in the same locality.’ (Morning Bulletin, 8 August 1879, p3)
