INTRIGUING QUESTIONS
Are
we getting closer to discovering the true identity of THE INFORMER?
Will
Tom's question
"Can you tell me the informer's name" be answered?,
Was
it Dinan, one of Tom's brothers or Christie's mate? Well Goonan got a pardon from the magistrate.
Why
did Christie enjoy dressing up in various costumes?
Why
did Tom dump a load of whiskey at the Allansford quarry, replace it with cheese,
then file a report at Warrnambool police station alleging armed bandits had
held him up?
Was
Christie one of the police officers who held up Tom, shot at his horse causing
it to rear up and gallop off knocking them to the ground?
Was it
Detective Christie who fell down the Moonlight Head cliffs and landed in a bush? Was he pushed? Or was it another Mr Christie from Warrnambool Excise Dept.
Was
it a contrived accident? How did he survive and who rescued him?
Why
were 20 men fined after the incident of the wreck of the barque FIJI? What was the contraband that they were caught with in their possession. Who agreed to loan his horse to the excise man. What role did George Couch and his son, play?
Why
did Captain Vickers lose his licence?
What
was Christie's motivation in desperately wanting to nail Tom?
Was
Christie a rotten shot or was Tom just too clever, or was this all lies and fabrication of the truth?
Who
gave Christie the local knowledge yet never got the acknowledgement.
Were
aboriginal trackers involved in the search at Whiskey Creek?
Did
Christie die a wealthy man, and what about the mounted constables who knew the terrain?
