== What was Emu Station like in the late 1870's ==

== Links to the KellyGang ==

In the 1870s John [[Graves|Graves]] was the manager of Emu. The Kellys were neighbours. ([[Royal Commission report 10/8/1881|RC15488]])

Graves told the Royal Commission, 'For a series of years from Power's time they had a regular well-beaten track from Mansfield to cross, which was only used by themselves. A week hardly elapsed that I did not find in my paddocks either one of my horses ridden, or one of theirs left there and one of mine taken. The '''KellyGang''' had always relays of horses at those back country places, as you are not allowed to impound horses if they belong to neighbors, and there they would remain till they would come for them. They were always on the beaten track backwards and forwards to [[Mansfield|Mansfield]].' ([[Royal Commission report 10/8/1881|RC15554]])

In mid November [[ev78-10--4Mansfield Murders|1878]] after the Mansfield Murders and the flight to the River Murray the [[../../things/K_kellys/K_KellyGang.html|'''KellyGang''']] came home and took up residence on Emu Station just south of [[Kelly Home|Mrs Kelly]]'s old home
