The '''KellyGang''' mention the Greta Swamp in the [[Jerilderie Letter|Jerilderie letter]]. While discussing the incident between [[Ned Kelly|Ned Kelly]] and the [[Hawkers People|hawker]] Mr and Mrs [[Jeremiah McCormack|McCormack]], they tell us that Mr. [[Johns|Johns]] had a horse called Ruta Cruta. Although he was a gelding he was as clever as old Wombat or any other stallion at running horses away and taking them on his beat which was from Greta swamp to the Seven Mile Creek.
The Royal Commission found that in the autumn of 1880 the '''KellyGang''' were usually in the vicinity of the Greta Swamp, from which they would move back to the ranges, get across the [[Ovens River|Ovens River]] towards [[Sebastopol|Sebastopol]], and from thence to the Pilot Range, near [[Wodonga (2)|Wodonga]]. ([[Royal Commission second Report Part XII ( page 17)|RC2ndreportXII]]) ([[Royal Commission report day 3 page 7|RC758]])
The KellyGang used a small two-roomed weatherboard building in the middle of the swamp.([[Cookson, 13_09_1911_3|BWC]])
