After the Fitzpatrick incident the '''[[KellyGang|KellyGang]]''' went off to a place in the mountains at Bullocky Creek where some of them had been before. Soon [[Ned Kelly|Ned]] and [[Dan Kelly|Dan]] Kelly and Joe [[Joe Byrne|Byrne]] were joined by their cousin [[Tom Lloyd Jnr|Loyd]] Steve [[Steve Hart|Hart]] who had just left [[Beechworth Gaol|Beechworth Goal]].
The boys found some small quantities of alluvial [[Gold mining (2)|gold]]. The panned and sluced and sunk shafts along the line of the local creek. To suppliment this income and raise money for the defence of Mrs Kelly and the others they also set up 2 whiskey stills and planted crops on 20 acres which they cleared. The boys also peppered the local trees as they practiced their shooting skills. Occasionally Joe [[Joe Byrne|Byrne]] would go off to Mansfield where he was not known and other friends would come up and help with the work around the camp. See also ([[Herald (23)|Herald4/7/1880]])
On 25 October [[ev78-10--4Mansfield Murders|1878]] Ned [[Ned Kelly|Kelly]] had been to Table Top and the Bogs and [[Emu Swamp|Emu]] Swamp and on his way back to Bullock Creek he came cross the tracks of a police party; see Cameron [[Cameron Letter|Letter]].
