This is a true copy of a forum debate about SBC where the Police were shot by the Kelly gang in 1878. These following 25 pages were lost when one of the participants complained to forum host ProBoards.com. Despite numerous efforts to have the whole forum re-instated by me, this topic was one of several threads on DEE's 'Ned Kelly Truth forum' that questioned the many mythologized elements of the Kelly story, and is the reason for much personal attack on those that may have alternative views of how Kelly history is recorded.

Dee,

Sorry, but you are not correct.
As was said previously there is no pipe at the spring location. The pipe Bill has shown is not at the site of the spring.


Spring – Well up from below ground; burst forth from soil; rise from base; originate.
Creek –A small stream; a body of water with a current confined within a bed and stream banks.

Ned Kelly from the Jerilderie Letter
“We approached the spring as close as we could get to the camp as the intervening space being clear ground and no battery…………………………………..
I stopped at the logs and Dan went back to the spring for fear the troopers would come in that way but I soon heard them coming up the creek.”

Regardless of personal opinion Ned himself referred to the spring and creek as two separate identities.

So why argue with him?

I don't understand why we keep getting dragged led back to dictionary and other primary descriptions of springs and creeks.

So far as I can figure, CSI people put on masks, spin around three times, and pin a card saying 'SPRING' onto a map.

That darn spring of yours sure moves around a lot!

How can Ned be right about Scanlan and Kennedy "coming up" the creek, when they left the camp in the opposite direction.

That's like this thread. It goes round and round in circles.

Horrie,


Primary sources keep it real. 


Unlike Bill’s tent. The location of the spring has not been moved around at all. Certainly not by Kelvyn or myself. 
So please do not make up things that are not true.

 Can you please validate this statement?

How can Ned be right about Scanlan and Kennedy "coming up" the creek, when they left the camp in the opposite direction. 

Some extracts from Constable McIntyre’s statements from the Beechworth committal hearing:

He (Ned Kelly) said 'when do you expect these men home?' I said 'I didn’t think they will be home tonight I think they must have got bushed' and previously he asked me where were the others and immediately after he came from the body of Lonigan. I said they were all out.
He said then which direction did they go in? I pointed North West in the direction of Benalla – I said over there – He said ‘ That’s very strange ‘ well perhaps they will never come back for there is a good man down the creek and if they fall in with him you will never see them again


North West is down the creek.

Dee, you have summed it all up in one paragraph. ( end page14)

Kelvyn says" The Spring is on High ground well away from the pipe"

The high ground would have to be White hill exactly where they reckon the police tent had stood, so why would Ned send Dan back to the 'spring' if this was where there were camped?

These so called Crime Scene Investigators CSI seem to have a lot of problems with what are Primary Sources and communicating where their spring actually is ? Both Glenn and Kelvyn keep referring to McIntyre's notes as primary sources when they are not, except for the notes he made immediately after the shootings at SBC, anything months, years later is Secondary sources and cannot be relied upon..

Then Glenn comes back dictionary descriptions of what a creek and a spring is.
Why is it these CSI gents can't even show us a picture of their spring like Sheila and Fay on their webpage - www.ironicon.com.au/validlinks.htm

Picture of spring water in Stringybark Creek
pixmaker.com.au/twohuts/images/stringybarkcreek91104no2.jpg

Now back to the Spring -

What these Crime Scene Investigators don't get is they have to show us all some pictures of that channel across the road, or pictures of the proof the existence of a spring there.

I was with the gents and Linton Briggs when he was describing 'that' supposed spring and I coughed and laughed as I walked away thinking is this bloke nuts? A dribble from rain soaking ground is not a Spring. A spring is not wet ground running off over the ground. Crickey!

I think I know a bit about springs. I had already investigated the Bobinawarrah area south of Wangaratta where the Kelly's had lived in a Hut for up to a year described by the 1880's news papers as the the hiding place of the Kelly gang -the Hut behind the School.

On identifying the site, one local gentleman by the name of Duncan McCallum (aged around 81) he had said his father had told him the hut was on a gully with a Spring, and if we could find a gully with a spring the hut would have been close to it.

The search party was headed by Arthur Hall who was a descendant of James Wallace 'the headmaster of the school -behind which the hut had stood. See my webpage for more details www.denheldid.com/twohuts/bobinawarrahut.htm

They had been trying to find the hut site for many years previous when I was invited by Marcus Swinburne, a family descendant that had occupied a farm land in the Oxley valley near Bobinawarrah, and he asked if I was interested to join the search and to bring along my metal detector along.

In the party there were descendants of pioneer family Gibb - Alan and Graham. They said they knew of a 'spring' in a gully behind their property they knew as sawpit gully in State forest that had a spring. The Gibb brothers still owned the family property and interestingly their mother had nursed Jim Kelly, Ned's brother back to health and had asked if she could take a picture of him. Perhaps this is why they knew of the hut behind the school being near a spring, but this is speculation.

Anyway, Alan and Graham Gibb led us to their 'spring' along Sawpit Gully in what was rocky dry gold type country, and fair enough here was a rock hole with fresh water in it all year round.

Back in 1985 that I took 81 year old Billy Stewart to Kelly's Creek to show him where I had found bullet lead that I am sure was fired from Kelly guns doing their shooting practice. Old Bill had been saw miller for the company that had built the sawmill right over the Kelly hut in 1929 when there were still remains of it to be seen including fireplace stones.
Billy told me the hut was built there because of the 'spring' there. Obviously you don't build huts where there is no running water.

Billy also told me that Stringybark Creek was a spring although at that time I was not interested in SBC because I was flat out with Kellys Creek. However 17 years later I came across those 2 huts fireplaces at SBC and wondered about the spring? and although I can't be sure of the distance now, maybe a hundred metres up the gully there is a spring. It feed SBC all year round. The reason they built the two huts there close to the source of the spring to ensure the water remained pure.


So, I do know a little about a Spring when then the spring water follows along the creek and so on.


Now, we continue with the CSI team problems.

I can hardly be bothered trying to continue, but I do so in the belief something good will come out of this.

Glenn tries to answer Horrie about Scanlan and Kennedy 'coming back up the creek', when they departed going down the creek,
Horrie, your post is correct if you think about it.

Glenn keeps referring to Quotes from Court records, McIntyre's notes and Jerilderie letter to try and give reason why the CSI teams spot is correct but these are not Primary Sources -but secondary sources and cannot be relied upon.

Glenn's last post trying to out do Horrie " quoting from Beechworth committal hearing" two years after the event puzzles me. -

Glenn keeps saying I keep moving 'my tent around' - while it's been in the same place ever since I showed the CSI team where it was - see page

www.ironicon.com.au/images/twohutssouthslopefromroad.jpg

or www.ironicon.com.au/images/IMGP6703.jpg

Glenn quotes from ' Beechworth committal hearing' McIntyre's WORDS

I am not sure if Glenn knows what this means- about the direction Scanlan and Kennedy left.
Mc-
" I pointed North West in the direction of Benalla – I said over there –
He said ( NED said) ‘
That’s very strange ‘ well perhaps they will never come back for there is a good man down the creek and if they fall in with him you will never see them again.

For all who want to do a webpage WORD search for the words 'down the creek' go to
www.ironicon.com.au/stringybarkckinvestigation.htm

You will all see McIntyre refers mostly to 'Down the creek' and only up the creek where Dan went to the spring.

Since Glenn posted the quote, this is a question for Glenn,
"There is a good man 'down' the creek"

Glenn, who do you think that man would have to been down the creek ?

Bill

PS; We all know Ned sent Dan up the creek to the spring to check if Scanlan and Kennedy came back that way

Bill, I can see that a lot of things puzzle you.

Firstly – I think both Horrie and Dee can answer for themselves. Without you telling them what to think.
Just because you say so does not mean you are correct.

Re your question –   Glenn, who do you think that man would have to been down the creek ?
Most likely Tom Lloyd.

This is the third time you have debated the spring – without success. So why go on about it?

Re the tent location. Anyone who really took the time to study the information would soon see that:
The debate by rights should have finished when you moved the tent to the only suitable location at your site. N/W corner.
Placing it behind the two posts – the burnt hut.
Your current tent location does not match the descriptions provided by McIntyre nor the special reporter.
The log angles now make no sense compared to McIntyre's words
The locations of McIntyre and Lonigan make no sense.
The distance from the tent to the attacking party are now totally different to the locations within your conclusions.
Nor does it now match any of your illustrations or diagrams  
As you well know. 

11th August 1880. Thomas McIntyre completes a 46 page statement before W.Foster P.M.
Part of which reads:
"Within a few days after arriving at the Richmond depot. I made written notes of everything that I could recollect. ……….

Here is a man who made and kept written notes shortly after the event. So why is it you cannot accept the evidence he provides?
You ignore much of what McIntyre has stated simply because it does not suit your purpose. Only if it does suit your purpose do you include it in your findings.

Thomas McIntyre would later recall that:
"Kelly on his removal from the court expressed his surprise at the completeness of my evidence but qualified this remark immediately afterwards by stating “But the – has had nothing else to think about during the last two years”
In the events like those described in my evidence, however, I think that minds of most men are abnormally keen and the incidents connected therewith get indelibly photographed upon the brain."


By saying that McIntyre got the logs etc wrong as he used the Burman images to make his detailed diagram is very far fetched.
As he did an excellent job of tying it all together- his words, diagram, descriptions and placement of the participants.

Or is it just an amazing coincidence that his diagram matches his descriptions so very well? And is just by chance they match the location near the current Kelly tree very well?

Furthermore your conclusions are incredibly frustrating and full of inconsistencies and can only conclude that you are in fact manipulating the facts for self purpose.

When you can present a more compelling case in a clear and consistent fashion – let me know. Until then I have no further interest in what you have to say.

In the meantime you can choose to carry on and entertain those who care to participate within this forum.

Which I have little doubt you will continue to do.

Glenn,
There is no record of Tom Lloyd being anywhere near StringyBark creek.
He showed up at Kelly's creek after the event at SBC.

Ned Kelly said Dan was 'up the creek near the 'spring' south to look out for the returning police in case they came from that direction.

McIntyre's quote is typically why you cannot rely on secondary source material.

If Mc was correct stating Dan was at the Spring 'down' the creek instead of UP the creek, then this demonstrates why the CSI teams report is all false in its conclusions

Constable McIntyre’s statements from the Beechworth committal hearing
:
He said then which direction did they go in? I pointed North West in the direction of Benalla – I said over there – He said ‘ That’s very strange ‘ well perhaps they will never come back for there is a good man down the creek and if they fall in with him you will never see them again."

Note :McIntyre did not say Tom Lloyd was the man down the creek. He was repeating what Ned had said to him.
I do not have the source of the Tom Lloyd theory but believe it came from Ian Jones.
How can you or anyone prove that Tom Lloyd showed up at Kelly's creek after SBC ? Just a question.

Re below. Please provide source and exact wording by McIntyre:

If Mc was correct stating Dan was at the Spring 'down' the creek instead of UP the creek
Again please provide source and exact wording:

Ned Kelly said Dan was 'up the creek near the 'spring' south to look out for the returning police in case they came from that direction
Where does Ned say up the creek near the spring? I suspect the word "creek" was conveniently added .

Jones's Short Life says Tom Lloyd was at Bullock Creek most Saturdays (2002: 128). When the gang returned to Bullock Creek after SBC, Lloyd turned up with supplies (2002: 139). Jones suggests that Lloyd, Aaron Sherrit, Wild Wright and others were habitues of Bullock Creek, 'The Fatal Friendship' 2003: 61-2).

I think Glenn is right though. I remember Jones saying Lloyd was lurking in the background at SBC - maybe it was in the Cave book in 1967 (I think; I have lent it and can't check tonight).

Today's Sympathisers don't want any more shooters at SBC though - four against one at the start was bad enough and skittled the self-defence theories.

Glenn asks me to provide the sources for the my wording -see Glenn's 'quote lines' post above.

Jerilderie letter, -
“We approached the spring as close as we could get to the camp"

"Dan went back to the spring for fear the troopers would come in that way but I soon heard them coming up the creek.”

1, We know the Kelly's came from the South into the police camp.

2 When Ned Kelly told Dan to go 'back' to the spring - means he went back south to the spring.

By the above we can conclude 'back' means 'up the creek' to the spring for Dan to keep watch.

If McIntyre was correct - when NED asked him (Mc) the direction Kennedy and Scanlan had left in, Mc pointed North West- then quotes Ned as saying-

" 'That’s very strange' well perhaps they will never come back for there is a good man down the creek and if they fall in with him you will never see them again."

We know there is no creek running North West, Mc can only have referred to SBC running North South, so if he quotes Ned as saying 'that's' strange there is a good man 'down the creek' * -then McIntyre has got his bearings and his recall all wrong if that good man was Dan Kelly up the creek at the spring.

And, if the CSI team, Linton, Glenn and Kelvyn hang so much importance to anecdotal evidence to locate their police camp, then perhaps the CSI's spring should be down the creek north, not on top of that white hill just south of their site?
With all this we can see the confusion in McIntyre's' account.

McIntyre is recalling the situation of an event that had happened to him almost two years earlier. He would have been extremely traumatised at that time as psychologists often say, a person suffering from a shocking experience (like McIntyre had) can -will make very wide off the mark recall statements that cannot necessarily be taken as the truth.

What McIntyre certainly did write and re write every ounce of his memory of the event, even if later versions differed slightly from the next. His memoirs published 24 years later are a remarkable account and we are all the richer for it.
Bill

PS; * Horrie's reference to Ian Jones saying 'Lloyd was lurking in the back ground at SBC?' may have come from his conclusion after reading McIntyre's reported committal hearing, but I think Mc was just confused.

Corfield's encyclopaedia says there was a possibility Tom was at SBC (2003: 313) without citation, but lists Jones's Short Life as a general source (Corfield 2003: 315). Cave's 'Ned Kelly: Man and Myth' does not place Tom at SBC according to the indexed refs to SBC.

Thanks Bill for your continuing helpful remarks.

Thanks Glenn and Horrie,

1879 -The Outlaws of the Wombat Ranges , GW Hall
G Wilson Hall was privy to the inner sanctum of the Kelly camp but makes no mention of Tom Lloyd.
( but stand to be corrected)

1929, The Complete Inner History of the Kelly Gang JJ Kenneally, -
JJK was also privy to the inner sanctum of the Kelly sympathisers and writes his pro Kelly book but makes no mention of Tom Lloyd. -


Page 53, about SBC -
" Having assumed control of the police quarters, Ned Kelly dispatched Joe Byrne and Steve Hart to their own camp to see if there were any signs of Kennedy and Scanlan. They returned and reported that there was no sign of the mounted constables."

Page 54 " Dan Kelly had come back from the spring, and the other two had returned from their hasty visit to the 'miners' hut on Kelly's Creek when Ned Kelly heard sounds of horses coming up the creek."

It would seem that from here on Kelly authors have used Thomas McIntyre's quote that Ned apparently said this - "
'That’s very strange' well perhaps they will never come back for there is a good man down the creek and if they fall in with him you will never see them again." **
Reported in the Age 6 August 1880, as all false and mis quoted. He was most probably referring to good man Dan being UP the creek.

1984 -Keith McMenomy's,- Ned Kelly, The Authentic Illustrated History,
Page 82-


"It was suspected Tom Lloyd was there when the police arrived, but was chosen to stay behind at the hut in case of surprise *. Tom admitted being there on the Saturday night, said he was bringing supplies and money from the sale of gold, but arrived after it was all over, and met them some distance from the scene "

* This may contradict what JJ Kenneally wrote in 1929.

** All contemporary authors basically follow the line of what McIntyre wrote at Kelly's committal hearing.

This all goes to show we must always use Primary Sources - closest to the event, only then perhaps if nothing else, use Secondary Sources.

Why does all this matter? Well, it establishes a true line of sources to establish where the police camp was located using primary sources without miss interpretations that always seem to cloud the truth.

Bill

PS, I noticed the 'eminent authority' on Ned Kelly - Brian Stevenson has made a posting on the Eleven Mile Creek thread on this forum.
Hello Brian, we amateurs would highly appreciate your thoughts on this SBC discussion.

I have just deleted two posts by "Horrie", at "Horries" request. Afterwards it occurred to me that the two posts could be by different Guests using the name Horrie, so I might have been tricked into deleting a Post that its author didn't want me to delete by someone who wasn't its author but did. If that is what happened I apologise to the first Horrie but would send a Julie Bishop Death Stare at Horrie 2.

If you are a Member you can Edit or delete your own posts but it would seem thats not possible if you're a Guest. "Horrie" has always posted as a Guest but I would urge Horrie and everyone else to become a Member so this sort of thing doesn't happen.

I see in a recent post "we amateurs" is used so at long last a statement of substance which clearly applies to the author of the posting.

DSE are turning SBC into a theme park (prone to vandals and hoons, as in June 2012) with walkways and footbridges that destroy the ambience.

There's a lot to be said for leaving the sacred place alone. Otherwise, it will eventually end up like this:

Horrie, I thought your humour was in order. We do need a few laughs !

The map below shows how the existing walking path from the car park / picnic ground can be utilised to take the visitor past the site of the two huts via an elevated board walk taking in the exact spot where photographer Burman took the photos looking south. The return walk via SBC road. A plan like this shown with the yellow lines was submitted to DSE but totally ignored by the SBC discussion group in favour of the Jones site L .


www.ironicon.com.au/images/SBC38.jpg  Click on link to enlarge


The CSI team claims hut site B where the "Kelly's shot the Police" , but then the same notation is on another map one year later - hut site H , but the CSI team had not realised the two hut plots were 160 metres apart, meaning the surveyor must have realised the earlier hut site B must have been wrong for him to re locate it to H, both are wrong because at these sites there are no slopes comparable to Burman photos.

THE PARANOIC once more rambles again with more idiotic irrelevance and shows his true unambiguous and nuts Jekyll and Hyde persona:
“Why is it these CSI gents can't even show us a picture of their spring like Sheila and Fay on their webpage”.
Because it adds nothing to the stupid debate you continue to bore us sh ****ss with Bill.

“Now back to the Spring -
What these Crime Scene Investigators don't get is they have to show us all some pictures of that channel across the road, or pictures of the proof the existance [sic] of a spring there”
Better still Bill go and look for yourself, as no doubt others will.

“I was with the gents and Linton Briggs when he was describing 'that' supposed spring and I coughed and laughed as I walked away thinking is this bloke nuts? A dribble from rain soaking ground is not a Spring. A spring is not wet ground running off over the ground. Crickey!”
Crickey, you are for once absolutely right Bill.
But a clearly observable release of a continual flow of water (whilst underground water sources are sufficient to make a spring for the duration of the water source – ie sufficient rainfall over a length of time which a) soaks the ground to a depth, then b) needs to discharge the excess water to groundlevel).
This clearly observable release you are so hung up about from the close position that you say where you “coughed and laughed” identified by a gentleman who you now suggest is nuts happened, and will happen when conditions are right again (may be years from now, or may be sooner depending on precipitation (that’s rain to you Bill).
Read the Wikipedia info I provided via a link so you can again try and understand the basics of permanent and transient springs !!,
The Spring was observable following the breaking of the drought throughout the area and the subsequent heavy and continual rains. Indeed when the spring is active the water discharge (NOT A PIDDLY DRIBBLE AS YOU SAY) is sufficient for works to have been undertaken to ensure the roadway is not destroyed by water flow either flowing North (the clearly observable contemporaneous water diversion channel over which you must have driven to place your car where it is in your recent “pipe Photos” and the for water flow to the South to be moved via the pipe to the eastern side. And indeed if you were observant some months ago you surely would have seen the small other water discharge right on the top of the white hill and which had caused the eastern verge of the road to become extremely boggy (but then again probably not as you have a myopic view most of the time).
I guess then now you sprout such crap that I may make a general observation that as time passed it became clearer, to your erstwhile team colleagues, that the Team could not work with a nut either who appeared to want to listen and observe but who clearly had no intention other than pushing a couple of rock piles.
So its nuts to you too.
“I think I know a bit about springs”.
Seems not springs where water is involved Bill. Like so many other things you seem to know a bit about and which you try to ram down the throat of those who will not question your views. You simply cannot accept any matter if it isn’t one you address in your singularly arrogant and brainless realm of fantasy.
“The Creek is the Spring” – you need to enter this claim in the next comedy writers’ festival, it’ll give the audience a good laugh (as it does here).
Go look at four permanent and very well- known springs: – Dalhousie, The Bubbler , Blanches Cup and Coward. (No creeks to be seen for 100s of ks). And of course the various Mineral Springs here in Vic. Purnie Bore is worth a visit when you head off these Springs. (no creek there either).
Your true colours come out in your ramblings here and previously in other forums.
Glenn you are butting your head against a wall of fools led by the master of fooldom.
Your observations are of course absolutely correct and can be verified by anyone who actually spends time reading statements and other PRIMARY SOURCE MATERIAL by McIntyre AND OTHERS who as that tiresome Bill and his rubbish statements would say is a very primary source of what happened at Stringybark Creek of course.
Congratulations on your succinct rebuttals of the rubbish from pseudohorrie (hello Johno) and realbill.

Breaking news in later postings:
Yes, Its Bill again: “we amateurs would highly appreciate your thoughts on this SBC discussion”
At last, whilst the word amateur has been stated /implied as applying to the CSI Team now we have an admission by Bill that he too is merely an amateur.

And from Horrie/johno/Eve some most erudite and appropriate references; perhaps at last he/she will also now return to constructive and useful observations and comment. Well done H/J/E.

Some suggestions for Colryan: 1) piles of rocks but no glitter; or 2) rock a bye baby; or 3) rock yer socks off billy boy; or 4) The rock pile mystery .
Go Spy v Spy .

AND NOW A DIAGRAM WITH WORDING ABOUT THE CSI TEAM AND PLACING A B WHICH IS NOT…NOT..NOT.. IN A CORRECT ORIENTATION OF POSITOIN DETERMINED BY THE CSI TEAM. WATCH THIS SPACE AS MUCH MORE NOW NEEDS TO BE SAID IN THIS MATTER TO CORRECT THE CRAP ONCE AGAIN EMANATING FROM THE PARANOIC DENHELD.
