stories of intrigue about our forgotten past

meantime here are SOME 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?
