Links to the KellyGang
The KellyGang bought several boxes of sardines and some horse feed in Everton on the night of 27/10/1878 on their way after the Mansfield Murders. Later on 3/11/1878 the KellyGang came back through Everton on their way to Wangaratta. (RC3149)
On 6/11/1878 Sup Sadleir caught the train to Everton and then went on to Taylor's Gap to meet 2 parties of police. (RC1764)
On 30/5/1880 Nicolson and a party of police came up from Benalla on the train and got off at Everton to start and met Aaron Sherritt (RC801)(RC15116)
The police started out at once by horseback to a certain paddock, about two miles, I think, from the spot where the outlaw had been seen; thence by foot to the exact place. They got the man's track, and, after following it for some distance, found it was only a man collecting cows. Later they came near Mrs Byrne's home. (RC1110)
