On [[ev78-12--2Euroa Robbery|12/12/1878]], after the [[Euroa|Euroa]] robbery a police search party was sent into the Strathbogie ranges. ([[The Argus at KellyGang 14/12/1878|Argus14/12/78]])([[Royal Commission report day 2 page 17|RC553]])

The police believed the KellyGang were in the Strathbogie Ranges ([[The Argus at KellyGang 16/12/1878 (4)|Argus16/12/78]]) ([[The Alexandra and Yea Standard, Gobur, Thornton and Acheron Express at KellyGang 28/12/1878|Alexandra28/12/1878]])

In December- January 1879 Sup [[Sadleir|Sadleir]] sent an [[Police Agents|agent]] into the upper end of the Strathbogie country, he travelled in amongst the most likely places.([[Royal Commission report day 11 page 4|RC2028]])

In mid [[events 1879-08/ 1879-10|1879]] when Ass Com [[Nicolson|Nicolson]] took over control of the hunt for the '''KellyGang.''' He thought that the '''KellyGang''' were in the [[Greta|Greta]] area but sent out word that he was looking for them in the Stathbogies ([[Royal Commission report day 50 page 8|RC16894]]) See also ([[The Argus at KellyGang 27/9/1879|Argus27/9/79]])

He did not think that the Strathbogies where part of the Kelly Country. ([[Royal Commission report day 2 page 11|RC473]])See also ([[The Age (30)|Argus6/8/80]])

Graves agreed, but the '''KellyGang''' may have passed through the area. ([[Royal Commission report day 45 page 16|RC15543]])
