Biography

The deceased failed to return from a muster from the head station. Later, Aboriginals found his swag, saddle and bridle and the matter was followed up by Mounted Constables - but there was no trace of his horse and no body was ever found.. It was assumed that he had become lost and perished from lack of water.
