Hume and Hovell described the land North East of Tatonga as “a level forest, with here and there a small creek, flowing towards the North West. The soil excellent, and the trees numerous--a stunted species of blue gum.” The [[Broken River|Broken River]] they recorded as a “ - strong stream, thickly bordered with reeds.”

Mr [[Graves|Graves]] was manager of Tatonga in about 1870 when it included comprising [[Emu Station|Emu]] and the [[The Springs|Springs]]. He was [[Kelly Home|Kellys]] neighbour.
William [[William Tanner|Tanner]] was thrown off his [[Selectors|selection]] on Tatong because he was a [[Sympathizers|sympathizer]] ([[Royal Commission report day 15 page 4|RC3553]]) Patrick [[Patrick Quinn|Quinn]] said that there were some horses belonging to James [[Whitty|Whitty]], Robert Jeffery, and John [[Edi|Farrell]] taken. Jeffery came to Quinn, and asked him to find out where the mare was taken he had lost. During the time this other horse was taken I saw those horses of Jeffery's and James Whitty's passing up to the waterhole with some horses owned by Patrick Quinn. Quinn made enquiries and found out that those horses were taken up to the Murray and that [[Patrick Quinn|Billy Cook]] was connected in the taking of them.([[Royal Commission report day 52 page 10|RC17691]]) see ([[The Argus at KellyGang 2/5/1878|Argus2/5/78]])
